Luckily (no pun intended) we aren’t the only team that will end up with whacky numbers, as many pointed out a bunch of teams with very strong NET’s will show to be otherwise weak on a variety of metrics and a few others like us will have weak NET’s but strong across most other metrics.  Strong being relative to other bubble teams of course.

Once the committee see a bunch of NET’s that do look indicative, it will underweight (or throw out) that metric anytime it doesn’t seem to align with a variety of other important metrics.  Obviously I could be wrong but I have often (not always) observed this dynamic with the committee over time, but don’t see it as much with the talking heads (lunardi etc)

Things I think the Committe will care more about than NET

1. Total winning percentage (for Power 6 teams) (this will largely be baked in by the time you count up the rest of these points)
2. Wins against any top 20-50 programs (not NET based)
3. Strength of schedule (not NET based)
4. Wins on the road vs programs that are decent (top 100ish, not NET based)
5. Winning percentage in Conference (for Power 6 teams)
6. Bad/weak losses (to teams below 150ish)
