Fun Tidbit:

Lowest 10 Rated NET teams from Major 7 (P5 + AAC + BE)

160 Tulane (AAC)
169 Notre Dame (ACC)
170 Butler (BE)
177 Vanderbilt (SEC)
186 Nebraska (Big 10)
193 California (Pac 12)
198 Oregon St (Pac 12)
203 K-State (Big 12)
209 Iowa St (Big 12)

237 Washington (Pac 12)

So Every Major conference has at least 1 team with a NET ranking lower than the AAC's lowest. The Pac 12 with a whopping 3 ... including one with "all star" talent and leadership

Looks like Washington and UNI are fighting it out for an at large bid.

Yesterday's game helped Cincy more than it did us.

Yesterday's game helped Cincy more than it did us.

Was this strictly due to our game with Cincy or was it for the week where we lost @Houston and they won @SMU? They had 2 road games.

Day to Day update from Yesterday to today

Wichita State: 64->64
Cincy: 107->105

So the game didn't really help us but helped Cincy. Probably due to how close the game ended up. If we could have cleaned up the last 4 minutes and won by 10+ we likely would have gained a bit more.

Thanks.

We jumped up to 54 after that win. I'll update the OP later. Officially in bubble territory.

Updated 1/14

[Stickboy46]

Updated 1/15 due to some movement all around. Temple jumps up after the win vs UCF and UCF drops. WSU moves to Top 50

[Stickboy46]

Updated 1/21 - WSU has fallen 9 spots in the last 5 days without playing. Tulsa has fallen out of the Top 75 costing us a Q1 win and moving the home game to Q3. UCF is now borderline Q1/Q2.

We really need to throttle some of the lower end competition to bump up the raw NET score because there aren't a lot of good opportunities left.

[jdmee]

There are only 4 conferences where every team is above 200 in NET. AAC, ACC, Big 10 and SEC.

The Big 12, Big East, and A 10 are doing better than our conference with more top tier teams, but doing worse at the bottom. However, I don't know if it would help us to have more games and beat them all (those below us helping us or not). Beating Houston should help us but there is no sense why our conference is doing so poorly when the bottom of our conference has significantly improved this year.

[SB Shock]

WSU NET went from 59 to 70 after last night loss. WSU KenPom went from 79 to 70.

Weird. Seeing how our NET goes down when we win, I figured it’d go way up with that L.
