Right now Providence is 77 in the net.
DePaul is 164 in the net.
Both of these are huge numbers for us.
As many have pointed out if Providence moves up into the top 75 we get an additional quad 1 and 2 win. But maybe just as important is DePaul. All they have to do is move up into the top 160 for that loss not to be considered a quad 4 loss. That blemish really stands out right now.
With them playing each other Its hard to imagine neither of these things happening one way or the other (good news!), I just wonder if there is a chance both could happen. It's a quad 3 game for prov and quad 2 game for DePaul.
This NET thing is rediculous. Kentucky at 9-15 is NET 59. Penn State at 10-13 is NET 40. You can lend the NET some merit but there has to be the eye test and common sense. In a year that does not have many out of conference games, how can you say that the Big 10 or the ACC is that much better then the BE.
If you are in a Power 5 conference and you are above 500 and in the top 4 to me it has to hold more weight then finishing 9th in another power 5 conference and a sub 500 record in this Covid year because of the lack of out of conference games. And now the Garden games count as home games. We did not play there all year. This makes no sense to me especially this year.
I was looking at the top 4 Big 10 teams results vs other conferences this year. Big wins vs UCF, Toledo, Notre Dame, UCLA, Duke. Losses to Baylor, Miami, Missouri,Gonzaga. Where is all the credibility? Who did they beat that is good outside of their conference?
