Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4520912, member: 7492"] Ok, given the constant focus on the AP poll in particular and the actual tools used by the committee (NET, RPI Conference Champion, injuries), I thought I would try to show the analysis of the 4 ranking services at our disposal plus the Top 10 from HerHoopStats as displayed on their free home page. This conglomeration has SC #1, UConn #2 and then LSU/Stanford/Indiana fighting for #3. We know NET is to be the primary source with RPI, Conference title and incorporating any injuries into the equation. This is what Charlie Creme tries to replicate and inform the interested fans. I think for the most part, he does an admirable job trying to replicate what he can. Here is the data and you will see that the AP voters do not use advanced metrics in their thinking as there are 5 teams whose AP ranking is not proportional to their NET or RPI-Texas, Oregon, Maryland, UCLA and Gonzaga. Texas and Oregon are under-rated by the voters. Maryland, UCLA and Gonzaga are OVER-RATED by the voters. The below chart shows the teams, record, Conference, NET, RPI, AP, Massey and top 10 Herhoopstat rankings. I have listed the top 40 from NET. From a Conference perspective, the PAC-12 has 8 team in the top 40 of NET (7 in the RPI top 40), ACC, SEC and Big Ten have 7 each in NET, with Big 12 with 4 and Big East with 3. From an RPI perspective, the ACC/Big Ten have 7, SEC has 6 while Big East has 5 and Big 12 has 4 (swapping Baylor for Oklahoma). [ATTACH type="full"]83709[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
