No way can Florida State be ahead of North Carolina. North Carolina is the ACC CHAMPION, Florida State is not. The ACC Conference schedule is not done yet.. UNC still has to play Duke this Wed. If Duke beats them.. UNC and FSU will be co-champs. FSU plays Miami at home this Friday. If they select ACC Champ based on HtH sets.. FSU wins over UNC .. FSU swept UNC at FSU in SEP. (3-0) and then FSU lost in 4 to UNC in Nov.. FSU won 4 sets to UNC's 3 sets in the head to head set race. You beat me to this. FSU is tops over UNC in games, rpi, sos, and top 25 victories.. They are both very close in all categories and may be closer after the week's end, I would give UNC edge in strength of losses ILLinois Vs Duke ; if their conference schedules were the same then a championship would mean much more.

So much talk of Wisky over FSU; not so long ago the concensus seemed the committee would go to the B1G over 2 for the PAC => Stanford, Texas, Florida State, Wisconsin vs Florida, Washington, Penn State, North Carolina. Which will likely happen as my favorite player's team will again have PSU (my favorite team who is not my favorite team:)) in their way.

Projected out all Conference tournament games in Conference record.
48. Purdue () (23-9, 13-7)
Hmmm, last week Purdue was projected to be 50, after being projected to beat Minnesota. However, now that they lost to Minnesota, they move up to 48. I'm glad, but what were the other things that happened around there to make that happen? Two other teams that were expected to win lost?

(I think the projection of 50 was RK's) The big difference for this week is that bluepenguin added conference tournaments which could make a difference (like Western Kentucky going 3-0 in theirs).

And Head-to-Head is sometimes overlooked. 2010, Stanford & Cal tied for the PAC-10 title but Cal beat Stanford both meetings. Cal was seeded #7 in the tourney and Stanford seeded #3. But they weren't even close? Stanford was #2 in pre-tournament RPI, Cal 10. And you also have to remember that Cal-Stanford-USC all played to a draw H2H. Those were also Cal's only two Top 25 RPI wins... Stanford had beaten USC x2, and also beaten Texas and Penn St. in the pre-season. I don't see any flaws in the logic there. H2H wasn't overlooked, the two just weren't close enough for it to come into play. (Kinda like how in 2012 they didn't put Oregon St. above Penn St. -- there was a H2H, but it just wasn't relevant) Not disagreeing with you at all. Just wanted to kind of piggyback on what you were saying to the previous poster. (Who was the actual one talking about head to head results)

I'm glad, but what were the other things that happened around there to make that happen? Two other teams that were expected to win lost? I don't know the specifics - but I believe last week I had Purdue projected to win 2 of their final 4 matches. Going into this week, I have them projected to win 1 of their final 2 matches after going 1-1 last week. I did not project the Minnesota game specifically, but essentially projected that Purdue was likely to win just 1 between Michigan State and Purdue. Same record as last week - if they moved up then it would have to be related to combinations of net teams around them falling or opponent w/l% improved. Also, there is probably very little difference between spots in that area.

Ah, that's probably the simple answer
