Which is why you have the committee.

I disagree - I think just seeing everybody based on NET would be absurd due to the outliers. Biggest example to me has and remains Wisconsin - #22 in NET, but tied for the most Q1 wins in the country and has a 9-3 record against Q1 teams. IMO that is a great resume but for some reason the...

Everything I'm going to say here is not meant with any disrespect but there is a lot of thinking in this post that doesn't line up with how the committee thinks. 1. Conference standings don't matter. It's not in the criteria. ISU is dead last in the Big 12 right now and is still in most...

That's literally every fanbase like it or not. I think it's extremely foolish for any parent to be on it. Just my opinion though.

Honestly the Big 12 might be the best it’s ever been. Lowest ranked team is KSU at 63. Almost every game is a Q1 game. Clones still ranked 36 in the NET and have a 5-7 record against Q1 teams. Just gotta go 4-4 to end the season at 20 wins and I think they are in which would be miraculous...

The general sentiment in this thread is that the Big 12 is dumb for just taking the top two teams in the league. Since they've done that, the CCG's have been very competitive. The Baylor/OSU game last year was one of the best games of the season and was decided by about 1 inch on the final...

We've played like 2/3 of the season. Unless a team goes on a major losing or winning streak at this point rankings likely don't change much IMO. I agree I think Iowa is in barring a total collapse. When you look at the rankings that really only look at results of games (SOR, KPI, RPI) Iowa is in...

Iowa's press has been pretty effective all year. Cherry picking one stat seems weird though only Minny and Neb have worse defenses in the Big 10 per KenPom.

What does cheating even look like in 2022 with NIL? He might not have to break the rules anymore.

RPI is dead. If you look at the NCAA tourney seeding since they rolled out NET, at least for the top 8 seeds it hews pretty close to the NET ranking. I've seen some negativity around this Iowa team but I don't get it - haven't lost to anybody bad, great NET, outstanding legacy player in Keegan...

Who, other than Young, will end up in a better spot than ISU?

well maybe. Until we know who is using their super senior year and who isn’t I just don’t know

The only one I don't get is Young. But right now it's hard to say why this is happening or if it's anything to be concerned about.

Well, sort of. I actually think the Q1/2 wins and things like that only matter if they want to bump some team up or down. Since they've had NET, your overall net rating ties pretty dang close to the seed you get. And your overall rating will be effected by the number of really, really bad teams...

IMO the whole reason Iowa presses like they do is because they can't rebound. You need to force the turnovers before the shots start going up. Really it was only 12 TO's, because ISU let the shot clock expire without taking a shot under no pressure at the end of the game. If you're a team that...

Wasn't my question.

I think this is an easy answer honestly. Historically the AP poll cares only about results, wins and losses. Several of the algorithms really don't care about wins and losses, Kenpom specifically. It's just trying to predict who would win in upcoming matchups.

Metrics love Iowa this year. Bart Torvik has Iowa a 1.7 pt favorite, Sagarin has Iowa a 6 point favorite, etc.

maybe not. I feel bad for your co workers. Life’s too short.

No offense but Iowa is riding a 2 game losing streak. I think they feel some pressure as well. As far as the players go, they aren't worried about 2 years down the line or even next year. And I mean it when I say ISU fans already feel like we're playing with house money this year. It's just so...
