This is actually good for Pitt but NET strikes again. Wake goes from 42 to 32 for winning at 10-13 Georgia Tech. How? They won by 29. Point spreads matter.
A close win at home over a mediocre team? Their NET will probably drop. And SMF will probably have a heart attack.
They dropped 2 to 41. If they keep winning these close games, we may see a 29-5 South Carolina team in Dayton. I know we dont use RPI anymore but its 7 and they'd be right there in position for a 1 seed but with NET, there a few losses away from the bubble. I hate RPI so Im not advocating for it but this is one example where its better. NET is probably better than RPI but they have to get rid of the scoring margin metrices or at least turn them off in blowout games.
Well the team they beat was only 18-4. You have to drop them for that. Now, had they beat a 7-15 team by 25, THAT would have been impressive.
And a NET of 61. Must have not beaten the spread in the Q4s. Here's the thing. I dont think coaches understand this. Jeff Capel said this week that he doesn't. The Mountain West does. If you absolutely schedule Q4 games, you need to blow them out or else dont schedule them. Winning a Q4 by 4, 6, 8 points really hurts you. So dont schedule them.
You’re wrong
Is losing by 20 against Duke the aame
As lost by 1 versus sc state ?
Of course not
If they keep winning close games they are going to be probably a three or four seed. At worst. Because, fortunately for them, the NCAA does not select the teams for the tournament and they do not seed the teams for the tournament based on their NET ranking.
But if they do keep winning and they end up a four seed with an RPI of 35 you'll have some sort of excuse for them as to why they don't count, just like you do with every other team that doesn't fit your declaration.
The 1-point loss is way worse, because it's a much worse team.
But then NET just moved Wake up for beating a 10-13 team by a lot and moved South Carolina down for beating an 18-4 team by a little.
Well wake had 2 win that week including the road win by a lot
South Carolina is ranked #15 in the polls , which is more relevant
As noted SC’s NET is low because their OOC was terribly weak
It is hilarious when he post something that makes the other persons point and doesn't even realize what he's done, like his post where he gives three different reasons why something other than the NET ranking was the determining factor while simultaneously saying that that's proof that the NET is the only thing that matters.
