re: NET Rankings through last night’s games

quote:

---

there are always 3-4 teams that are efficiency darlings that always find ways to lose close games against good teams and are still super high in the NET.

I will say, the committee has seemed to have seen through those types of teams (like it used to with the MVC and MW teams in the RPI era that magically scheduled their way into the Top 30 every year).

The point of NET isn't really that it should be a stand alone ranking to where a team ranked 4 NET automatically is a #1 Seed.


The point is that it is another very useful tool to combat the tendency to just put 12-2 above 10-4 that you see the AP/Coaches' Poll still doing so frequently.

It does tell you a lot about how well the teams have played since it's impossible for someone to watch every single game.
