Where did the NET come from?

Mar 4, 2023, 10:44 PM

I’ve been doing some research trying to figure out its origin. I know it was meant to replace the RPI rankings, but who or what actually came up with it?

This system is just bizarre and seems to have inherent bias. Teams with subpar conference records (aka WVU) are locks to make it. While teams like Clemson are projected out. How can any ranking system that analyzes data have a team like NC state ahead of Clemson, when they’ve played twice and both outcomes were so convincing.Not to mention NC State finished with a worse record against the same pool of competition. None of this makes any sense to me and reeks of tampering.

You can’t cherry pick a single team and head to head results. There are 300+ teams. Who you lose to matters as much as who you beat. NET isn’t an outlier. Almost every single modeling system puts NC State ahead of Clemson. There are more than a few: https://masseyratings.com/cb/compare.htm

NCSt at 41 makes little sense.

OOC was weak and who’d they beat? Any system that has them 20 spots in front of us is flawed.

NET deemphasizes conference games - really removes them as a factor whatsoever.

(One could argue that, in this age of big conferences with unbalanced schedules, that is a reasonably good idea.)

Net emphasizes performance in the quads - Quad 1 wins and Quad 4 losses especially standing out. Our bad losses haunt us. The ACC's weakness in total kept us from getting more good wins.

I completely appreciate the concern, but that's what is going on.

If there are approximately 340 teams, why are there only 30

teams in quad one? Four guads...there should be about 85 teams in each quad. But I heard someone say there are only 30 teams in quad one! That makes no sense to me!

And they said prior to our game tonight...we have four quad one wins, and three of them were on the road!

I guess I see a model that has several teams that a team has beat head to head ahead of them and wonder how it’s possible. NC States best OOC win was who? Furman? Dayton? Or are they getting a huge bump for just playing(losing) to Kansas? This is system that rewards losing to “quality” teams. Maybe the most flawed metric I’ve ever seen in sports.

It is not 100% confirmed, but it most likely leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The NET came from ancient fishing boats.
