1.   Regarding the first bolded comment, I looked through 2019, 2022 and 2023, and it's very hard to find any team that got screwed purely by the NET.   Every team that got in / out seemed to be based more on the number of Q1, Q2 wins, overall Q1+Q2 %, bad losses.   Something got them out other than NET.

Now of course, their is conference OOC performance element which drives NET as well.   But the NET [S]has[/S] generally has rewarded the conferences that were superior in OOC play.   So that either helped teams or not depending on where they played/  Had to do the strikethough for 2024 BIg 12... which is not like 2023 Big 12, which was legitimately great in OOC.   But it still generally holds true - the ACC got rewarded when the conference did well, and it gets punished when it sucked in 2022 and 2023.

2.  Regarding the second bolded comment.   We are still lacking in quality wins but not far off.   Assuming we do there with another Q1 or two, you are correct in that Syracuse is very unique.    Hard to find any comparables to us where a team has managed to outdo themselves so much in one direction regarding margin, compared to pure W-L record.
