You can watch a replay on ACCNXFor some reason I thought this started at 7 and missed the match!!
Do these final matches not count in the ACC standings? It’s confusing to me that they could post about an undefeated 14-0 ACC record when they still had 3 or 4 matches yet to play.
In one match, the commentary implied this is some RPI grouping, but it is hard for me to believe any formula would just coincidentally assign us Louisville and Georgia Tech.
Yes, that is obvious to everyone, but that is not how the announcer chose to explain it.It's not random. They have the best teams playing other better teams to try to juice their RPIs and help their tournament resumes. If you were picked to finish near the top of the league you got extra games against other teams picked to finish near the top. If you were picked to finish near the bottom of the league you got extra games against teams picked to finish near the bottom.
And extra Pitt - Louisville match draws attention and interest. An extra Pitt - Clemson match doesn't really interest anyone.

An extra Pitt-BC match doesn't interest anyone either, but it ends up on the schedule anyway. I think the point was just that Pitt doesn't get assigned the 4 best teams to play twice, and neither does Clemson get the 4 worst teams. There is some attempt to balance them at least a little.
