A10Ref Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Belmont 43, BC 111, Auburn 16, and Drake 87. Important stretch given majority of A10 is below those marks. Compton and Lando Griffin like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 The Boise State win is currently Q2. SFA win is Q3, all other wins Q4. Memphis is a Q1 loss, UAB a (barely) Q2 loss. A win over Belmont will be Q2. Wtih their OVC schedule, they won't stay as high as they are now, so the win could slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 The Missouri D-1 teams: SLU 67, KC (UMKC) 172, Mizzou 278, SEMO 299. Also, future A10 member Loyola Chicago (7-2) is 25. Illinois is 48. Out here, the still undefeated USF Dons (9-0) are 32, with longtime WCC roadblock Gonzaga still there at 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I've said this in the past, but the Quad system is totally stupid. Let's take these rankings we made up that are admittedly flawed and then water them down even further by not differentiating between a home loss to the 76th best team and the 150th best team.

It's amazing... How could a home win over the number 26th team matter that much less than against the 25th? I understand that they have to weight results but it should be based off of 1-350 not their "quadrants."

Cowboy II Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 -I'm trying to not be cynical but the "moving" quadrant system makes no sense, to me the quadrant ranking should be locked as of the day of the game (or for the first part of the schedule I will defer to The Wiz and say the first 8 games get locked after all teams have played 8 D1 games) but it seems to help the P5/6 on Selection Sunday to make it move as the dregs of their conferences will have their best ranking at the end of the season by playing tough conference schedules even if they get whacked -we beat Boise St which seems like a good road win but if they get 4 guys hurt and go in the crapper the quaility of that win is decreased by events that had no impact on the game when it was played slufanskip, Bay Area Billiken and bauman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA just wants people to think that margin of victory isn't a factor so that teams aren't running up the score on terrible opponents and/or media/fans don't blame teams running up the score on the NET. In reality a bigger margin of victory = better efficiency margin. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Conference NET per warrennolan.com: The A10 is 11th in Conference NET! Man alive, that's bad. That's behind the #7 Mountain West, #8 AAC, #9 WCC, and even the #10 Southern Conference. The MVC is right behind the A10 at #12. UAB's C-USA is #13. One of the principal reasons SLU is even in the A10 is because it is traditionally a multi-bid league. With the highest A10 NET team being #54 Davidson, with SLU 2nd at #67, absent dramatic improvement this month, the A10 may be warding off an uninvited visit from Juan Bid on Selection Sunday. The A10 has way too many bad losses. For every Dayton (NET 95, 6-3) win over #14 Kansas, Dayton lost at home to the likes of UMass-Lowell, Lipscomb and Austin Peay. Every game counts this month, or the top 9 A10 teams are going to be in a mad scramble, dog eat dog, in March '22 in D.C. for the A10's automatic bid. Preseason favorite St. Bona is #88, with that bad home loss to Northern Iowa of the MVC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Griffin Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Can we just fast forward to Late February, early March when we’re pissing and moaning about SLU’s 40ish NET? I hate this system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm surprised St. Bonaventure is so low. I've thought they were a little overrated but they still have neutral site wins against Boise State, Clemson and Marquette, plus a solid win against Buffalo. These rankings will change tremendously over the next month. There aren't enough games thus far to have an accurate picture of the NET rankings yet.

It's clearly too small a sample size to let anyone know where they really stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Light Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 NET is meaningless. It's a smokescreen for the committee to place whomever they want in the Tourney. We got to win the Auto bid if the goal is Big Dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
