Thats insane honestly. The NET puts way too much on SOS without factoring in strength of wins
That isn't why Alabama and Auburn are ranked high in the NET. They're ranked high in the NET because their efficiency numbers are super high, which the NET values a ton (and shouldn't, IMHO).
KenPom
#4 Auburn
#8 Alabama
That is the biggest reason for the difference between RPI (#15 Alabama, #16 Auburn) and NET (#5 Alabama, #7 Auburn).

The point of my post isn’t even to say Bama hasn’t beat good teams , just that NET loves to reward teams for losing a lot of Q1 games, which is exactly what is going on with UF right now.
I’m all for RPI. Just add a home/road tweak. When you have a 30+ game season, the formula should be 100% résumé and 0% advanced stats

That’s old RPI. UGA is #24 now

We can pick whichever resume metric you want, they're better than NET because they don't include efficiency numbers, which are great for evaluating how good a team is but should not be used for determining what a team has achieved record wise (which is the only thing the NCAAT should be picking based off of).

Using the RPI

Fellas, I used RPI as a nod to Diddly, who has been posting RPI for weeks now.
I'm partial to Wins Above Bubble and/or Strength of Record.

I don't understand his infatuation with RPI since it has been irrelevant almost as long as he's been alive.

But if they were to lose to Tennessee and Auburn in their next two games, and if the above three previous opponents absorbed losses this week, they are a week away from seeing that resume possibly fall to 1-7 against Quad 1 and 3-2 against Quad 2.
Which would still not really be that big a deal. My expectation at this point for this team is to win 20ish games and be a #6-7 seed.

They very well could. Your track record of winning big games is certainly impressive.

Arkie has a lot of work to do and not much room for error

Is beating a team with no good wins and only good losses really a good win?

Ive posted RPI (among others) to point out how bad NET is.
Georgia is:
24 in RPI
38 in Strength of Record
17 in KPI
54 in ELO
57 in WAB
79 in NET
We picked up a Quad I win on Tuesday and moved up 3 total spots. College Basketball isn’t about winning games anymore.
Feel free to give an explanation for why Bradley and UC Irvine deserve to be ahead of UGA at this point.

Yep, I know. And it's a good point. Nobody thinks RPI is perfect, but it doesn't heavily weigh efficiencies, not does have arbitrary point differences for boxed wins ("Q1", "Q2") which is the entire point.
A road win over #76 shouldn't be a whole exponential amount different than a road win over #75.

I've always loved ELO (more so for baseball because of cross pollination, but works well in basketball, too) but can't post them without getting 17 consecutive Electric Light Orchestra responses.

UGA is 69th on KenPom. KenPom is good gauge.
