The NET has been a little better at not being skewed badly earlier in the
season versus how bad the RPI was at this. However, you make a good point about the self-fulfilling prophecy. Hopefully, the committee isn't looking at what people were predicting back in late January.
For reference, the Numbers 40-50 back on January 29 in the NET were:
Texas
WSU
Princeton
Villanova
aTm
Wake
GCU
Drake
UVA
USC-e
VT
Today they are:
WSU
OU
Wake
Nebraska
Pitt
Cinci
Utah
USC-e
Drake
aTm
UVA
Similar names. Those that dropped out lost a few games (Tech went 4-5 in that stretch and dropped 4 spots). Those that moved up had some decent wins, but no one moved egregiously by simply playing high ranking NET teams like they could have with the RPI. It's been more of a stock market move based on results (NET) versus an options trade move based on results (RPI)

They have, and most outside the ACC call it sour grapes.
