Ummmm... VA gives the teams an 11th game - pre-season benefit game.
NC used to give teams 11 games (Endowment) and they would drop a non-conference game from their seeding record.
NC's doing something weird this year b/c of Helene - not sure how it works.
And a "basic rule" is NOT what the rule book says.
Plus YOUR 'basic rule' doesn't even cover what I was asking,
