Super cool newer site! Pulled this from one of the pages which appears to be huge for the Hawkeyes despite the lack of quad 1 success at the moment.

In 2021, the NCAA basically followed the NET in determining a cutoff. Every team ranked 41 or higher was invited to the tournament. That is one of 2 seasons that we currently have NET data for. The NET Formula was modified after the 2019 season but we've included that season as well.

 
Looks like plenty of opportunity to work on those quads.

Unlike me personally, where it's pretty much hopeless at this point.

not complaining but I find it hard to see in what world our resume is better than wisconsins
I don't understand NET, but I was about to say the same thing. Iowa 1-5 Q1 vs Wisky 8-4. Margin of victory must be very important to NET. Fine with me, but personally I think the Hawks are too high in NET, at least until they add a couple more Q1 wins.

Agreed 100%, there is no way I can see where our resume is better the Wisconsin.
 
This ranking is more for comparing bubble teams to other bubble teams. Wisconsin seeding likely won’t be influenced too much by their NET as they have such an impressive resume for quad 1 wins. But of the teams that it’s hard to see based on wins, who should get in or not, they’ll use net, kenpom and others to influence their decisions

Wisconsin’s seed will be much better than Iowa’s. So you can completely ignore where Iowa is rated vs Wisconsin in that regard. The key to gaming NET, so to speak, is to blow out your opponent, relatively speaking, while losing closeish games. Iowa’s really only had 1 bad game all year if we are speaking in terms of analytics.
 
I thought Wisconsin had put them in the driver's seat for the regular season B1G championship, with what appeared to be an easier remaining schedule. Lose to Rutgers in Madison. Never mind. Top record might have 5 losses
