Makes sense; seems NET can be “gamed” as a conference too

By for example having a couple strong but winnable neutral games like the Orlando tourney for ISU…but the rest of their resume and metrics were built crushing low majors If a whole conference does that, it builds the whole conference up due to having so many higher quad teams in one league ** Edited by hokiepro at 2/1/2024, 4:06:03 PM

NET nonsense: Today’s edition: Clemson wins but not by enough
hokiepro • 01/31/24 09:33 AM ET
Maybe it should be the most wins at the least number of points
VTCALS72 • 02/03/24 10:10 AM ET
How else do you want to judge?
HokiesACC2004 • 01/31/24 06:33 PM ET
I think honestly they should average the RPI & NET;
hokiepro • 01/31/24 06:36 PM ET
I don't think there is any case to use RPI...
Cvillehoops13 • 02/01/24 11:11 AM ET
Do you think they realized the big discrepancy some would see
hokiepro • 02/01/24 11:53 AM ET
I don't think there is any use in evaluating the NET until the end...

hokiepro • 02/01/24 03:43 PM ET
If the goal is to evaluate teams in the most accurate way possible...
Cvillehoops13 • 01/31/24 03:18 PM ET
But wouldn't that just make teams go for blowouts?
VTCALS72 • 02/03/24 10:04 AM ET
I agree that NET is an improvement over RPI. However, the Quad system needs
HokieEngineer • 01/31/24 06:20 PM ET
Yes, treating it as a continuous variable is better
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 06:30 PM ET
A question.....
2hhoop3 • 01/31/24 04:29 PM ET
Both, but meant just as much as…
Cvillehoops13 • 02/01/24 07:58 AM ET
Thanks for the reply......
2hhoop3 • 02/01/24 11:30 AM ET
I don't know the NET formulae very well but I too don't understand
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 03:52 PM ET
It’s about how OOC resumes are viewed
hokiepro • 01/31/24 04:03 PM ET
The committee does what it wants.**
VTCALS72 • 02/03/24 10:06 AM ET
SOS is part of NET so isn't that already factored into the ranking?
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 04:13 PM ET
Obviously it’s not factored in as heavily as efficiency in OOC
hokiepro • 01/31/24 04:28 PM ET
And why should SOS be weighted more than efficiency? **
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 04:34 PM ET
More than anything it’s an opinion BUT
hokiepro • 01/31/24 05:16 PM ET
They have. In a positive direction, IMO **
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 06:27 PM ET
Wow, when did we lose 2 more games??**
hokiepro • 01/31/24 03:22 PM ET
Corrected, sorry was doing some hypotheticals and of course didn't reset...
Cvillehoops13 • 01/31/24 03:27 PM ET
We’re 4-8 in Q1+Q2
hokiepro • 01/31/24 03:24 PM ET
Efficiency is essentially adjusted for quality of opponent and location
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 04:40 PM ET
The problem is that because the NET is used to just be based on this year..
Cvillehoops13 • 01/31/24 03:34 PM ET
If we woulda beaten the cocks and FSU we ain’t worrying bout no NET
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/31/24 02:31 PM ET
I wish the tournament would just go to 128 teams
OrlandoHokie • 01/31/24 12:01 PM ET
The regular season is already meaningless
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 12:52 PM ET
The regular season obviously isn’t “meaningless” when relatively recent
hokiepro • 01/31/24 03:54 PM ET
"Meaningless" is a strong term. "Not compelling might be a better phrase.
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 04:04 PM ET
Hang on one second...
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 03:58 PM ET
Isn't the NCAA tournament more about gambling now? Too big to fail.**
WildTurkE • 01/31/24 12:04 PM ET
I think 96 makes sense.
hokiepro • 01/31/24 12:03 PM ET
Actually for keeping interest in VTMBB 68 is ideal
Vippie1 • 01/31/24 01:18 PM ET
1000% agree
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 01:50 PM ET
The one that really pisses me off is Nova
ReasFordHoo • 01/31/24 10:49 AM ET
Every year there is a team with a resume that makes it VERY difficult...
Cvillehoops13 • 01/31/24 03:23 PM ET
Yup,Nova sucks.Both VT and UVA would beat Nova right now,this is not Jay
HokieBrazil • 01/31/24 02:35 PM ET
In the NET system, does a 10 point win
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 10:16 AM ET
Well, efficiency ratings are built in...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/31/24 10:37 AM ET
Thanks Chris. That's helpful.
Pride_and_Joy • 01/31/24 10:49 AM ET
If only they would have beat Duke (:
