Reminds me of something Conference USA tried a while back:
The league will keep an 18-game schedule, and play its first 14 games as normal. That means each team will play the other 13 CUSA teams once, plus its travel partner an additional time. After that, the remaining four games will have pre-determined dates, but matchups will be made based on the league standings at the time. That means the top five teams in the conference will play each other, teams 6-10 will do the same thing, and teams 11-14 after that.
As for the conference tournament, teams 1-5 in the standings after 14 games will be guaranteed no worse than the 5 seed, and teams 6-10 will be guaranteed no worse than the 10 seed. This helps ensure that top-tier teams donât torpedo their tournament position because they lose a few tough games.

Pulling for UNC and SMU today. Would like to see both make the tournament and wins today could pull both out of the bubble.

FWIW, Eamonn Brennan not even including SMU in his âwork to doâ category of his Bubble Watch, treating them as effectively needing to win the ACCT to get in.
Has UNC and Wake as âwork to do,â which is a step below his âshould get inâ designation for Bubble Teams currently on the right side of the cut line. Hereâs his writeup on each, for those who care:
North Carolina (21-12, 13-7; NET: 40, SOR: 44): Probably the most valuable aspect of North Carolinaâs 20-point win over Notre Dame Wednesday was the chance for one more in-person scout â and maybe even a little facetime! â with Irish guard Markus Burton. It never hurts to get an early start on the portal! (That sound you hear is Notre Dame fans throwing things at us. Sorry guys. We ducked.) A metrics-boosting win is never a bad thing, obviously, but what Carolina really needs, what it has always needed, is quality wins. This team played a top five noncon schedule. It is 8-0 against quadrant 2 and has just one non-quad-1 loss (against a pretty solid Stanford, albeit at home). The problem has always been the 1-11 quad 1 record. That problem is ongoing. (Maybe a less-ongoing problem: UNCâs much-derided bigs have played a lot better of late. Against bad competition, sure. But still.) Thursdayâs game against Wake is also a must-win, obviously, but mostly because it gives the Tar Heels a chance to actually change the nature of their team sheet and give the committee an excuse to let them in if they can topple ~Dook~ Friday night.
Wake Forest (21-10, 13-7; NET: 68, SOR: 43): A year after being one of the more highly rated (per KenPom.comâs adjusted efficiency) teams to miss out on the tournament in recent years â right up there with St. Johnâs for metrics-oriented snubs last March â Wake enters Champ Week in a diametrical position. There arenât a load of great wins here, to be sure, but beating Michigan on a neutral court and SMU away isnât nothing, particularly alongside a 6-1 record against quadrant 2. But the records metrics (not only SOR but WAB, which ranks Wake 47th) donât exactly detest the work this team has done against its challenging-enough schedule. Itâs just hard to see a path for the 69th-ranked NET to get in with so few top-end wins on its team sheet, failing a win Thursday and some massive surprise against ~Dook~ in the semifinal Friday night. Steve Forbesâ Deacons have been knocking on the door for the better part of four years now. The overwhelming likelihood is the knock will go unanswered once again.

Sorry for the poop emoji. But itâs 365- I canât pull for UNC no matter what. Let the conference burn if it has to as long as Carolina doesnât win.

Iâm not sure Wake isnât drawing dead, tbh. I guess a win against UNC and Duke puts them on the bubble⌠maybeâŚ

I donât realistically like either 4-seed Wake or 6-seed SMU to make an at-large case, even if upsetting Clemson and/or Louisville on the way to the ACCT Final. Theyâd need a whole lot of other results to go their way (other bubble teams losing early plus no mid-major bid stealers) in that case.
UNC is the weird candidate and they suffer from being the 5-seed. They wonât get any points for beating Wake today (Quad 2 game), and theyâre not beating ~Dook~ tomorrow, so their whole issue of ânot enough Q1 winsâ isnât getting fixed this week. If theyâd ended up in the other half of the bracket, an upset or two of Louisville or Clemson probably wouldâve been enough.

UNC is a lock if they win today. Their AD will get them in and just committed to Hubert returning so he needs him to have success. If they lose to Wake, and other bubble teams like Texas keep winning, then his job becomes a little harder but I still think heâll find a way.
I love this idea
Or dook
Or tech
Other than that, ACC ACC ACC!
Well, okâŚ.
Or Louisville
Or ND
