Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4520970, member: 7492"] While researching the NET-RPI ranking thread, I did a review of the Quad 1 through 4 records for each of the top 40 NET/RPI schools by conference. The P5 plus Big East dominate the top 40 NET/RPI rankings. What is interesting is how many games the conferences play against significantly lesser stature schools. For example, the 7 Top 40 SEC schools have played 50 games against Quad 1, 29 games against Quad 2, 37 games against Quad 3 and an appalling 41 games against Quad 4. That is an average of 6 games of Quad 4 opponents each for the 7 teams in the TOP 40. And yes, we know LSU is leading that with 9 games. So, while some have stated that Kim didn't know her roster (even I listed that as a caveat) to still schedule 9 (NINE!) games in Quad 4 is still really pathetic and was the most of any P5+1 school. Mississippi was second with 8 games against Quad 4. UConn has ZERO games against Quad 4.... When the various analytics review "conference strength" they review the whole conference and where the bottom teams rank. By this measure, the PAC-12 is #1 in Massey and Warran Nolan while the Big Ten is considered #5 (Big East is #6). The Big Ten is being dragged down by Rutgers, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northwestern and their NET/RPI rankings. However, when you look at the top teams (NET/RPI top 40), the Big Ten excels. They have 7 teams in the NET Top 40 and have the best Quad 1 record at 33-19. Next best is ACC with 36-31 for their 7 teams. The PAC-12 with their 8 teams is a pedestrian 24-27 and the SEC is a pathetic 21-29. Thank goodness for SC being 7-0 in Quad 1 otherwise-YIKES. The top-end school ranking in my view would be (based on Quad 1/2 records) 1. Big Ten 2. ACC 3. Big East 4. PAC-12 5. SEC 6. Big 12 Without further ado, here are the stats.
