“A couple of things that folks don’t understand, you can manipulate the NET. … And there’s a strength of schedule dynamic where the Big 12 has managed it with their scheduling. Their nonconference scheduling, they’re playing 300 level teams and winning by 40 and 50 points to increase their offensive and defensive efficiency numbers, which is a big part of the NET tool,” Brad Brownell said Monday on WCCP. “So that’s why you see teams trying to win at the end of games by 30 or 40 points instead of putting in your walk-ons.

“So the Big 12, they’re playing eight nonconference games, seven nonconference games against low level teams and increasing their NET. Then when they all get into the league, their totals are higher, their NET rankings are higher. And so their teams are perceived to be a little better than they are.”

The RPI didn't account for MOV. Maybe they should go back to the RPI. SOS should matter more than MOV.

By it's very nature RPI combines MOV and SOS.

And think about this ....

The WORST team in the ACC (my beloved Cardinals) lost to Texas, by 1, on a last second, fade away, 17 footer.

This should be 10 - 2.





It'll be great having a new coach.
