madmax Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Side by side comparison of Dayton and Michigan’s opponents. Please tell me why Dayton’s NET SOS is #27 and Michigans is #50. Utterly ridiculous and I hope the committee is aware of how stupid this is. After some further reading, it’s been posited that NET SOS likely relies heavily on opponent win percentage, which is bad because there are plenty of low quality teams with high win percentages and high quality teams with lower win percentages.

CincyHoosier Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Isn't there an intrinsic fallacy in using the NET rankings to compare SOS for the purpose of questioning the validity of those same rankings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common opponent doesn't help. They both managed to get past 4-25 Houston Baptist at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Someone should email this to the NCAA selection committee and copy Joe Lunardi (since he seems incapable of looking beyond NET when making his projections). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a pretty definitive take down of that nonsense. Not sure that it's related, but it always strikes me as very odd that the top teams, record wise, in a conference seem to almost always have the highest SOS. Seems like the fact that Maryland doesn't have to play Maryland and Nebraska does would tilt that the other way. It's very pronounced in football rankings.
