Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 4992474, member: 6535"] This doesn't pass the smell test for me. If a team beats the efficiency spread by 30, they're basically adding 1 point per game and probably around 1.4 points per 100 to their overall efficiency margin. That's going to be a 6-10 spot swing in NET for most teams. Here are KenPom efficiency margin numbers at each KP ranking, and the gap between the spot 10 higher: 1st 32.04 10th 23.69 (8.35) 20th 19.98 (3.71) 30th 17.83 (2.15) 40th 16.55 (1.28) 50th 14.25 (2.3) 60th 12.75 (1.5) 70th 11.73 (1.02) 80th 10.26 (1.47) 90th 9.09 (1.17) Keep in mind that the major inflection points are around 30th and 75th in the rankings, for determining quadrants. Given that once a conference gobbles up a bunch of NET equity in the non-conference schedule, it can only be distributed in conference, moving a handful of teams up 6-10 spots makes a HUGE difference.
