I know, but some years it appears that the committee uses a ouija board!
There are 2 bits of info on the graphic I posted above. One lists the criterion the Committee uses for seeding. The second shows what’s included in the NET calculation. I’m posting the second only below to avoid confusion. As you can see, injuries don’t factor into the mathematical equation
Ah, I (obviously) misread the graphics. I thought that the first graphic was for the makeup of the NET, not the makeup of the seeding. And after your reply, I looked closer only to see that the NET is included in the first graphic. Doh!
I realize that.
Just clarifying the obvious. "Ranked team" doesn't mean "top 25" like AP or Coaches Polls. The higher ranked win or loss (by NET) helps more than a lower ranked by NET. Of course, the NET rankings are constantly changing and the value of the win loss is changing with the rank. SCar and UConn are not getting as much out of the wins over Maryland at this time as when they happened. They are still a Quad One if you play them on the road or neutral. They are only a Quad Two if you play them at home - as we did.)
I’m not understanding why the point total is of importance. There is nothing a team can do to “catch up” but keep winning, which is every team’s goal.
Correct the are not calculated in. but they are still a decent indicator of who a team has won or lost against. The committee does look at team sheets in close calls - which contain the quad breakdowns
NET uses a mathematical formula, and does not factor in injuries or other factors.
Thank you for straightening out my myths and misperceptions. So, Nolan Warren uses the men’s quads for the women’s’ game. quads 1,2, and 3 are relevant. Quad 4 is basically a joke game for a contender. Thank you twice and thriceWhat About the Quadrant System?
Hoops diehards are probably wondering if the so-called Quadrant System is still in play with NET rankings. The NCAA still utilizes the Quadrant System for March Madness tournament selections and seeding. Essentially, at the end of the season, the NET sorts games into tiers, from Quadrant 1 at the top through Quadrant 4.
The men’s and women’s Quadrant Systems differ slightly in that the men’s uses a weighted system to account for home, neutral site, and road games. The women’s system doesn’t differentiate based on where games are played and simply sorts teams into four quadrants based on NET ranking: Quad 1 (NET 1-25), Quad 2 (NET 26-50), Quad 3 (NET 51-100), and Quad 4 (NET 101+).

Note the comment in one of the Answers about the use by the NCAA of "category" or "categories" not "quadrants" or "quads"
This is very helpful. Thank you.
Huskynan, If you've ever watched auto racing, toward the end of a race the announcer will provide the lap times of the 2 lead cars.
“Competitive in losses” is obviously a relative concept, but it's a stretch to say we were competitive in those games. We were quite thoroughly outplayed in all three, more so than what the final scores would indicate.
I think that's clearly true. But does the NET algorithm distinguish this? I haven't looked at any efficiency numbers for those games, so I'm curious if that would reveal the lopsided character of those games for the algorithm.
