A few problems with that though.    (I'll get to the simple answer I would give at the end in bold)

1) They won't state the Last 10 part.   That one I'm close to a 100% certain on.  That part doesn't matter to them, and they are pretty clear about that.

2) Regarding SOS.   I don't even think there is a global SOS metric anymore under this NET system which is pretty crazy.  Which is part of the reason more Q4 games are being played now vs 2018 (the last year of the RPI) certainly stand to be corrected though.

The SOS of 13 (or 15) that you are using, I assume is based on RPI or some other measure?  Are they going to quote that since its not a derivative of NET.   If there is a SOS for NET, it would be closer to the #39 SOS that is deemed by KP.

3) Is Strength of Record one of the key metrics they consider?   Just asking.   I don't think its a derivative of NET.

I think the simple answer they give with out getting into metrics that aren't NET related and will be more verbal "  [I]Syracuse getting in was simply an analysis of quality wins and their losses that we do with all teams.  Syracuse had two top half marquee Q1 wins in UNC and Clemson, which a number of bubble teams with multiple Q1 wins were not able to match in quality.   They only had one bad loss that was just outside of the Q2 line which again was very competitive versus the other teams we analyzed on the bubble.   They competed well during their conference play adding additional quality wins at home and the road.    Their NET was impacted by their efficiency in some losses and victories lesser teams.   But this is ultimately an analysis of wins and losses."[/I]
