The biggest issue with the net as bees states is where the ranking comes from at the start of the season. One can logically argue the ACC beat the Big 10 head to head thus is the stronger conference-at least preseason. That should have reflected both in the net and in SOS and other metrics but that is clearly not the case. So the question remains upon what bias was the original rating set? It is no secret we stunk and lost games we should have won, but this isn't strictly an SU issue. How many Q1/Q2 wins would have truly been available if the net would have reflected these head to head non-conference tourneys? There would have been more for the ACC and less for the Big 10. This then waterfalls through the rest of the season.

I get it you a a huge NET fan, your posts clearly show that. But you must see that as is the case with anything, the net has flaws, in this case a really really big flaw. The entire net season is based upon the start  and if the start is flawed so is the rest of the season. This isn't rocket science, it's simple math.
