KenPom & BPI primarily input is margin of victory, adjusted for opponent and location.
Resume ranks like Strength of Record, KPI, and WAB are fed just with record and opponent and location, not with score.
The NET was designed to be a combination of the two types.

So the latter is more about who you beat, and the former is also how you beat them. KenPom and the like are more accurate predictors of future performance, but the committee has often said that it's about the most deserving teams, not the best teams that get in. So the latter describe wins/losses more accurately, so they are preferred for selection.  And then the committee keeps the former predictive metrics in mind when seeding so as not to screw a good team by putting a team with a unremarkable resume but better actual team in a terribly under-seeded position. But they don't go so far as to move teams like Loyola Chicago into a 3 seed, they just bump them up a couple seedlines.
