Want to bump this back to the top. Since we won by 11 did we max our our NET

One portion of the algorithm. However, the efficiency metric doesn't have a cap.

I've mentioned this before, but it seems a lot are still unaware. The NCAA removed scoring margin from the NET. So scoring margin doesn't matter, besides how it affects efficiency.

There's no such thing as maxing out our NET. You can always be more efficient which improves your NET. There is a "bonus" in NET for scoring margin that caps at 10, so we maxed that out.

Just win, baby

Thanks for this clarification!!!

Thanks! I appreciate the links. I had a lot of questions about NET and this helps!

Okay, guys, which is it?

I'm a bit torn. I trust my links, but TAMU usually knows his crap in this arena.

Also, strange aside. But last season we had the most Q1 wins (5) out of all teams who didn't make the tournament.

Unranked. Receiving votes. Doubt we go from 0 votes to ranked.

But they really do deserve to be ranked

I don't know....with all of the other teams that lost and two more wins over ranked teams, including a road win at Nova, I think they get in.

We will 100% be ranked

Yep - 6 game win streak and 2 straight against ranked opponents. Maybe 3 ? Can't remember if SHU was ranked

Yup at the time they were

[mileskishnish72]

We just beat 3 top-20 teams. If we are not ranked, it is clearly a vast right-wing conspiracy.

[Goose]

Ranked or not ranked, this is top twenty team at the moment. There is not a BE team that is inking in a win against this team. While being ranked tomorrow is going to taste great, staying there is the goal.

Nope it appears I'm wrong. I missed that change,  thanks for the links!

I will be completely stunned if we are not ranked.

The Nova win put us on every voter's radar. Then to follow up with another win over a ranked team ... to borrow a phrase ...

I agree. Some of it is just who is hot at the time. It's less about resumes and more about who is winning. I think we've turned enough heads to make the leap this week.

I posted in the wrong thread. Thought I was in the what are we ranked thread. I'd love to be wrong. I thought we deserved votes last week and definitely deserve to be ranked this week. I just think we'll miss by a few points.

I wish you would've just let us be forgetful of that little nugget

I like the win and the 11 pt margin here, along with the metrics rise defensively.

I'll go with a guess of a rise from 36 to 29 in tomorrows NET!

Guess that's good we got 6 so far with the Providence one possibly moving into Q1

Someone here will.surely give you mega odds if you wanted to.wager on that.

[PGsHeroes32]

Up to 32

Only chance Prov moves to Q1 is if they sweep this week........which includes our game on Saturday. THey are late 30s right now.

SHU also might need to beat us to keep their precarious spot as well

Obviously beat both SHU and Prov and we gain 2 Q1 wins for them this week so just win and we will keep a good total.
