Message: [QUOTE="Ex Nutmegger, post: 3797558, member: 8025"] Here is a comparison of the average NET rankings of the teams in the P5 conferences as well as the Big East and the AAC(note - lowest average number is best): SEC ......... 50.1 ACC ........ 60.0 Big 12 ..... 62.6 Pac-12 .... 74.1 Big 10 ..... 75.6 Big East..112.6 AAC .......136.0 I also did the Massey averages: PAC-12 .... 43.1 ACC ......... 43.3 SEC ......... 43.4 Big 10 ...... 48.1 Big 12 ...... 48.8 Big East ... 89.5 AAC ........ 117.0 I will readily admit that I don’t understand how these ranking systems arrive at their numbers. And I find it interesting that they can be so different. Note that the PAC-12, which the media has been raving about being head and shoulders above the other P5’s, barely avoids last place among the P5’s in the NET lists and barely noses out the ACC and SEC in a very tight 5-way race in Massey. Unfortunately, UConn, although much better than the AAC is still way behind all of the P5’s. And that probably won’t improve much this year with so few OOC game being played due to COVID. By the way, if you just remove Butler’s horrible numbers (NET-325, Massey196)from the averages, the Big East numbers improve dramatically: NET ............ 91.4 Massey ...... 78.9 [/QUOTE]
