[QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5004325, member: 1969"]
There are 4 NET "Darlings this year" right around 30 on the bubble line.   Never seen it with this many around such a low number.   Last year there was 1, maybe 2, below 32, that were debatable.   Usually that line is closer to high 30's or 40, where you start to get multiple teams that are not locked in.

Here is what we have learned about high NET's and RPI's in the past that are on the bubble line.

Could the high NET help a Villanova, Colorado?   Decent chance if they have some other decent stuff.
Could the high NET help a team like Indiana St?   Very unlikely.

NET's and RPI's get thrown out the door for teams like Indiana St, fair or not.  They look at the quality wins, and say bye.

The MWC is more mixed historically.   Utah St last year probably got helped by their NET of 18.    New Mexico at 28 is pushing it with only 2 Q1 Wins.

I don't have New Mexico getting in as of now like many people do.   2 Q1 wins, with 2 bad losses.  The NET will not carry them home against a mid P6 team with 4Q1 wins.
