NET really is not very important.
That is simply not true. It’s the most important ranking tool for entry into dance…you are listening too much to BAC who always comes on here making a reason why we are out of tournament

Conference play could even affect

Did I miss something? No one saying Nebraska in. Obviously. But damn dangerous in conference tournament.
The post I replied to was edited I think.. the original said something about them having a better resume than Michigan.

It's not about what Bac says, I actually checked last season and NET was not very correlated at all with the seeding. Kenpom, Bart, my own personal ranking, Massey rating were all more correlated. I'm not going to say being ahead of another team in NET is completely meaningless but it's really waaay down the list of criteria.

i didn’t say anything about NET used for seeding. I said it was number 1 matrix used to pick field and every team in top 35 of NET made dance

Basically same thing, it’s a ranking and if you are below a certain point you don’t make it.

It’s hard to be top 35 in NET while having a bad resume. That doesn’t mean the good NET is what is causing them to be selected.

If all you are saying is it’s the most important computer metric.. then sure agreed. But it’s still not very important.
The fact that the top 35 from last year made the tournament will comfort me that our chances are still pretty good plus our large number of Quad wins

We’re not in the top 35 currently. If we are in the top 35 on selection Sunday it will mean we definitely have one more win and maybe two.

Nobody who was in top 45 last year with a road win over the top team in country was left out

20th in Kenpom, no sub-Q2 losses, and an 18-point neutral site win against Miami.

Good luck tonight, will be pulling for y’all for our matchup sake.
