The easiest adjustment to make with the NET is to weight the margin of victory or defeat on a logarithmic scale. After, say, the first 10 points, the impact starts to decay. This way, as an example, a 30-point win still carries weight, but is only slightly more impactful than a 10 point win. Would make it a lot harder to game the system. The simpler alternative is to cap the margin at a fixed # so that any value greater than, say, 10 points doesn't factor in.
Despite how it affects us THIS year, I am trying to be objective when I say that margins DO matter. It is a measure of how a team performs and it SHOULD be factored in to some degree.
