[QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 4982692, member: 559"]
Not too long ago RPI was the be all, end all for tournament selection. RPI is based solely on wins and losses and strength of schedule. Syracuse is currently 32 in RPI.  
NET is based largely on advanced analytics including offensive and defensive efficiency ratings. Syracuse is currently 90 in NET.

Cuse is 3-7 in Quad 1 wins. 
Wake is 1-6 and has a NET of 40
Pitt is 2-5 and has a NET of 47
NC State is 1-6 and has a net of 75.

And NET is now the preferred metric?

And check out some of the sheets from other conferences. 
RPI led teams to schedule up as opponents W-L and SOS were paramount. NET doesn't reward that strategy. So you are better off playing and soundly beating mid majors than competing against teams from power conferences.

If RPI needed tweaking, fine. But the disparity in our ranking shows that there is no common ground in the two systems. This really needs to be addressed and made more transparent

Not saying we deserve a bid with our current resume, but the only thing truly keeping us out of the discussion is our NET. Using the old RPI system we are on the good side of the bubble.
