interesting - thanks for doing some digging on this!
i think this might actually implicate the NET, the ACC's NET issue this season is that the top teams have hemorrhaged NET ranking since conference play started, being forced to play bad teams is bad for NET. having pretty stable median NET values within a conference during conference play kinda helps show that the NET isn't dynamic to Dec -> March changes, it just shuffles ranks around with the conference as they stood on Jan 1
