Their profile is laughable at this point.

the only thing that's laughable is this new 'transparent' NET ranking that assigns arbitrary rankings off factual data. where's the formula that explains how the final number is calculated using the data? NCAA not real transparent about that, are they?

there's no way Cincinnati U is being punished as bad as South Carolina for also losing a Q4 game - and having a lower SOS and less wins vs Q1/Q2 than the Gamecocks.

USC/Cincinnati

#27 Cin 4-2 Q1 / 2-1 Q2 / 9-0 Q3 / 6-1 Q4 - SOS 82
#82 SC 3-7 Q1 / 4-3 Q2 / 2-1 Q3 / 4-1 Q4 - SOS 21

15 of Cin 21 wins are against Q3/Q4. USC has 1 more Q1/Q2 win than Cin.

Cincinnati is currently projected as an 8 seed by the 4 letter network.

55 spots difference in the NET rankings and both teams have a Q4 loss - and the team ranked 82 has 1 more win against the top two quadrants. ---that's what laughable---

if you want a real laugh - compare USC's quadrant record against projected 9-seed Baylor (32 NET) - WHO HAS 2 Q4 LOSSES
