New top 25 (1/29)

[FanInNC]

NCAA just updated their SOS for NET and Warren Nolan published it. It didn't change Uconn but did shift several teams. For example ND moved from 10 to 8. I don't understand how NET SOS is determined, it's far from a Massey value? (And yes it's just one of 14 criteria.)

1. South Carolina
2. Stanford
3. Connecticut
4. Texas
5. Iowa
6. Utah
7. UCLA
8. Notre Dame
9. Kansas State
10. North Carolina State

I think this is the NET rankings, not SOS.

I don’t fully understand the NET SOS but for reference :
1 UConn
2 Maryland
3 Kansas
4 UCLA
5 Purdue
6 southern cal
7 Utah
8 Arizona
9 South Carolina
10 Chapel Hill

That’s the NET SOS top 10 I see. One thing I don’t understand is what “AVG Opp NET” means compared to “AVG Opp NET Rank”.

For example NC State has a Avg opponent NET Rank of 6 but a Avg opponent NET of 83.

Where are you seeing those?

This team sheet approximates what , I believe, the committee reviews:

This page on the ncaa website has NET rankings, SOS, and breaks down quad records. It also has those categories I noted that I don’t understand.

For example NC State has a Avg opponent NET Rank of 6 but a Avg opponent NET of 83.

The average opponent NET is literally the average of the NET rankings of all the teams you've played. Then after you calculate that for all the teams you can rank those.

So the average opponent NC St has played has a NET ranking of 83.
Of all teams, that 83 NET ranking is 6th best. Only 5 teams have played a schedule where the average NET ranking is better.

@HuskyNan provided info/authority showing that the committee for wbb looks at Quads that are different from the men’s structure ( that Warren Nolan provides.)

I think for the women it’s ( home or away?)
Quad 1: 1-25
Q2. : 26-50
Q3: 51-75
Q4: the rest
