Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 4983051, member: 312"] RPI was junked by the NCAA because the mid majors complained it was biased against them because they could not schedule many games against P5 schools and never at home. Almost every decision made by the NCAA regarding tournaments has been to placate the mid majors and try to get more of them into both the NCAAT and the NIT. NET uses a formula that discounts who you play and heavily counts metrics like offensive and defensive efficiency. This obviously helps scores for mid majors and P5 teams who beat up weaker opponents. Margin of wins/loses counts too and this has really hurt Syracuse's NET due to the way too many 20 points losses to ranked teams. Any team's NET will be better if they play a lot of weak dogs and beat them up badly. Something to consider in making future schedules under this dumb system. [/QUOTE]
