Not impressed with LSU’s average opponents NET rank- 311? You’d have to try really hard to schedule teams that bad (then again, maybe not- this happens year after year with LSU)

 

[Bjbod]

With an average opponent NET ranking of 311. Michigan St, Ole Miss, Iowa St and Oklahoma must all use the same scheduling service as well.

The NET is usually pretty kind to UConn, but I guess LSU figures out a way to game it. With zero wins against q1 or q2 opponents and seven q4, I must admit I’m baffled how the formula produced this result.

This is, after all, the NCAA we have come to admire, respect, and appreciate for its transparency, logic, even-handedness and general competence.

Translation to honest English: What else would we expect from a dirtbag outfit known for being opaque, illogical, biased, and generally as incompetent as a clown car populated by elementary school dropouts who have been imbibing immoderately?

Stealing this phrase for my next girl's night. 😈🍷

LSU #1 - Looks like magic to me.

You forgot obfuscatory.

Like Can, I like the expression “imbibing immoderately,” and I’ve been known to engage in it. I also drove a couple of clown cars, and when my buddies and I were emerging from one, folks probably did wonder how those clowns got in that Volkswagen.

Doesn't NET weigh margin of victory fairly heavily? That would go a long ways towards explaining LSU..

Jeff Spicoli works for the NCAA....?

Obviously, you can't take this rating system seriously.

As my eldest told me, some many decades back, when he was a pre-schooler:

Papá, how do you get six elephants in a VW bug?

Me: ¡No tengo ni idea! ( I've no idea!)

Three in the front seat and Three in the back. 😜

 

[Bigboote]

A Bug, not always smoke filled.

Ah, that would explain the large number of games decided by 80+ points, as pointed out in another thread.
