Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 4848525, member: 12147"] Sometimes they do. We dropped in NET after yesterday's win because we were favored by 20 and we "only" won by 13. That stuff matters for the numbers Steamrolling bad teams helps the ratings a lot. Alabama won a lot of their early games by 30-40+, and 3 of their 5 losses are Purdue (NET 3), Creighton (13), Arizona (2) I think this is why UConn schedules OOC the way that they do. Demolish the horrible teams to build up margin of victory, win (or lose closely) to power opponents, and don't schedule anyone in between that has a chance of making it close NET rankings are also pretty unreliable (imo) until the middle of conference play when it gets a chance to normalize. They're fun to look at and use for AP ranking justification, but there will be a lot of movement over the next 6 weeks [/QUOTE]
