That’s fair. Just thought it was weird considering who Memphis has beat compared to Wichita State.

The NET - typical of the NCAA - relies on a opaque formula where the weights for each factor and the algorithm for the most important factor (TVI) are unknown.

It's a data point 1/3 of the way through the year.

OK...

but it's only important to be good by the 3/3 part of the year.

Cool, guess we just shouldn't have any conversations at all here except at the end of the year ....

OR is that only because Cincy sucks in this ranking that you have a problem with it being posted ...

lol it's not a poll. It's an analytics metric.

Jesus.

It's not just about who you beat. It's about how you beat them too. Otherwise, they would've just stuck with the RPI.

Slight case of the butthurt disease. Not full-blown or anything, but something you should probably get some medicine for.

I hate my school.

Yeah, I get that now. I’m beyond hyped for Memphis’ trip to Wichita State. Should be a great game.

Maybe you should have titled the thread "look at me. look at me. my team is off to a good start".

Nevermind. You got the full-blown 'hurts.

Agreed. It sucks for a few reasons that the game is played so early in the year.

I'm okay with it. They've been excellent so far.

I think you guys win this one, but we might get the return game. Whoever loses this first one shouldn't be hurt very much, given the rankings.

Yes, I agree. Looks like they will be a biggest competition this year.

The more good teams in the conference the better.

Tulane, if it wins out, will be sub 100 NET with a 3-2 record vs. Q2 and a 10-2 overall mark.

How is Stanford #9? Duquesne #20?

I honestly don't think the NET is better than the RPI. I know it's early, but still.
