1. Auburn
4. Florida
5. Tennessee
6. Alabama
12. Texas A&M
15. Kentucky
21. Ole Miss
22. Missouri
30. Mississippi State
Q1 Home game cutoff Top 30
33. Texas
35. Georgia
41. Arkansas
42. Vanderbilt
44. Oklahoma
Q1 Away game cutoff Top 75
79. LSU
89. South Carolina
If LSU and Carolina can win a few games down the stretch they can move up above the #75 line, but obviously other teams will move down.

In the midst of a second half meltdown and hanging on by a thread
Mike White is just premium brand Avery Johnson. He manages to win a couple more OOC games every year to put his team on the right side of the bubble, but the February collapses happen like clockwork.

Something wrong with that considering who they have beaten and their schedule.

What has bitten us this season is the trend where we get a semi comfortable lead in the second half and then relax on the defensive end. Happened again last night, even though we extended the lead because our offensive efficiency was ridiculous.
We like to play with our food once we figure out how to attack the defense being thrown at us and know we can just trade baskets for 10 minutes if we want to.

NET is a predictive efficiency ranking with a super-secret fudge factor built in to give teams a bit of extra credit for certain wins. Therefore it is almost the same exact thing that KenPom is and that is why they are pretty much the same.
As such NET is no more influential in determining who deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament than any other efficiency metric. It just tells you which teams have scored the most points per possession and allowed the fewest adjusted for location and opponent. They are "predictive" in the sense that they tell you who can be expected to win a future game based on each teams past efficiency.
The biggest factor in whether a team deserves to make the NCAA Tournament is the results or "Resume." This is "who did you actually beat and who did you lose to, and what was the location of those games."
You can't really just use an efficiency ranking like NET alone, because an efficiency ranking relegates the most important stat, wins and losses, to a secondary status. An SEC team in a weird year like this year could go 0-16 and if they lost every game by one single point, their efficiency or NET rankings would actually look good because they would seem like they are just as good as Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, A&M, Kentucky, etc etc. The reality though, would be that they beat nobody.
The main purpose of the NET ranking is to judge the quality of those wins and losses and therefore have a greater understanding of the Resume. Knowing that Team A went 1-0 and Team B went 1-0 tells you nothing. But combined with a predictive rating like NET, you can judge the results and see that Team A beat the team expected to be the 5th best in the country on the road, while Team B beat #117 at home.
Thats where all the dividing up wins into Quads comes in which helps them judge resumes that consist of 30+ games for each team.
