South Carolina? Probably UNCG last night though to be honest

We beat #2 and #3 in their conference (UNCG and Furman).

This metric needs some serious overhauling in the off-season. I would have to think that the selection committee will use common sense with this thing.

It's pretty clear that NET inflates big wins over average teams vs. close wins over high-quality teams.

I looked at their schedule, they only played two ranked teams and lost both by double digits. This NET matrix is seriously flawed.

C'mon guys, the SEC CHAMPIONS LSU are definitely a 4 seed!!!

South Carolina?
they have ZERO wins against ranked opponents (top 25)

Beat Furman twice. Their NET is 41.
Beat UNCG three times. Their NET is 57.
Beat East Tennessee State three time. Their net is 71.
Beat SC. Their NET is 80.
Losses to NET 7(UNC), 20 (Kansas), 21 (MSST), 39 (OU)
Are they good? I'm sure. They won games they were supposed to. All losses on the road, minus UNC, is huge in NET rankings. Does the NET system have it's flaws? Absolutely. Anyway they are above a 6 seed? No.
ETA: there is no way they are a 1-5 seed when I say above...

Long story short, both the old way and new way seem pretty retarded.

They have 3 wins against non-division one schools. Most anyone else has in the top 25 is one game. Tennessee I believe played a non division one game.

Yeah Kansas is not number 1.

NET ranking won't effect seeding. It's just there to classify games as quad 1, quad 2, etc. and help give the committee an overview of the resume.

well they would be under the old system.
huge difference when one ranking thinks a team is #1, and the other thinks they are #20.
Regardless, Kansas shouldn't be 1 or 20. They are 10-7 in Q1 games, and 7-1 in Q1 games. There are only 3 teams with more Q1 wins than them, granted they played more than anyone else did, but they should be rewarded for that. They beat MSU, Tenn, Marquette, Nova, and the mighty Wofford OOC, and only 2 of those were at home.
