POST #5[/B]

I'm not ignoring it - its just total nonsense.   The NET is not against the ACC this year because of some programming bias.   There is no initial programing that influenes thing by Januar 1/     The data becomes connected over the course of the year, and as more games are played it starts to favour conferences who actually do the best.

The NET just didn't decide to favour the B12, SEC and BIG because of a programming issue.  Or punish the ACC because of a programming issue.  The W-L data, including quality wins and losses,  is abundantly clear.

Note that none of this is me "Loving All things NET" -- its me merely understanding the drivers of NET.

But would now be an appropriate time to show the Conference NET as pulled from Warren Nolan.     Nothing comes up as unexpected - it matches the win %, quality win and bad loss profiles of the conferences.

BBased on the data I provided in #3 the top league is not surpising and neither is #2 or #3
The placement of #5 to #7 is debatable but those leagues are clearly behind this year.  There is some debate whether the MWC is gaming the NET -- they do find  a way t typically schedule the best of smaller conferences and beat them (they have the most Q2 OOC wins of everyody)
