Message: [QUOTE="Lorcan, post: 4228321, member: 8861"] As NET is a relatively new tool, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at what the NET looked like last year in regards to teams on the bubble. Here are the 33 At-Large Teams and their NET Rankings from last year pre-tourney. Keep in mind that there were 33 at-large bids due to the Ivy League not playing last season. #6 Louisville #8 UCLA #9 Indiana #10 Oregon #11 Texas A&M #12 Rutgers #13 Georgia #14 Tennessee #15 Arizona #17 Arkansas #18 Kentucky #20 Missouri State #22 Michigan #23 Iowa #24 West Virginia #26 Iowa State #27 Oklahoma State #28 Virginia Tech #29 Texas #30 Georgia Tech #31 Northwestern #33 Alabama #34 Marquette #35 North Carolina #36 Oregon State #38 Central Florida #40 Michigan State #43 Syracuse #45 Washington State #46 South Dakota State #47 Wake Forest #48 Florida State #50 BYU The teams that did not get an invitation to the Big Dance despite their NET Ranking include: #37 Bucknell (Given that Bucknell only played the Patriot League last year, IIRC, makes sense that they got left out.) #39 Missouri #41 Ole Miss #49 Drake #51 IUPUI #52 Colorado #53 Tulane #54 New Mexico #56 Notre Dame It's extremely difficult to make any judgements based on data from last season given the state of the world that affected schedules to a larger degree than this year and the ability of teams to play outside of their regional bubbles. I'm thinking of taking a more in depth look once the tournaments are done and we know how many bubbles have "burst" [/QUOTE]
