Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4484954, member: 11664"] The NET was an improvement over the RPI. It's intended to promote teams that can score. Both the NFL & MLB have also instituted rules over the decades to improve scoring and to usher in the era of live TV. The NCAA is a group of schools agreeing to a set of standards to promote fairness including the smaller schools. There's really not much difference between an #8 seed & a #10 seed. The purpose is to keep the top seeds from being upset unless they deserve to be upset. That's why there has never been a seed lower than a #3 or #4 to win a national championship ever. The NET has been officially adopted as the current standard. But UConn fans seem to want to vote on which teams belong at the top of the NET before the conference schedules have even been played. You made a statement that I refuted and now you're going off on a tangent about Scar hypothetically being a #9 seed that doesn't even exist as being a threat to the integrity of the NCAAT seeding process with the NET. If people want to attack LSU's NET RANK then okay, accept the reasons for their current NET rank. But just understand the conference play has barely begun. Can't folks have patience? [/QUOTE]
