Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3773456, member: 1969"] The NET due to the sample does seem to be a little wacky this year. You will never be able to compare schools like Drake to a P5 school with the traditional metrics. The traditional metrics (Q1+Q2) are really done to compare P5+BE schools against each other. They are biased, but probably not intentionally biased against smaller schools. The only way to fairly compare Drake to P5 schools is if you have faith in that individual number be it NET / KP as a fair measure. The RPI was certainly not that number. In discussing teams like Drake, self admittedly I am biased in terms of what I would prefer. I want these types of schools that do well across all analytics (NET / KP), to get the benefit of the doubt over a team that is .500 in a power conference that has plenty of chances to prove they are elite and loses most of those games. But I also know my bias of what I want, does not match what the NCAA does. [/QUOTE]
