March 17 ESPN Bracketology: #10 IOWA Beats #2 Tennessee to Advance to Sweet 16

Alright my friend, Iowa dropped 3 in the NET not even playing. Is it the efficiency ratings that are hurting them?

Michigan who lost an actual game only dropped 1, and Iowa dropped 3.

Maybe it was Bucky losing they dropped 4, but that could be a combination of Bucky losing and Michigan losing.

Why the F did we drop a seed with a 1 pt loss to a dang good team?
 
I get it, i don't recall much that would of moved us a seed line but I didn't dig deep.
It looks like NET is really gonna matter this year

right now we are 29, which is a 7 seed, borderline 8 seed :(

remember, too, that 32 teams get automatic berths simply by winning their conference tournament; its gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out; Drake (!!) could make the NCAA Tournament this year simply because their league has one somewhat decent team (Loyola Chicago) & it would not surprise me if Drake won their conference tournament
 
I get it, i don't recall much that would of moved us a seed line but I didn't dig deep.
Me neither. I was just saying. Keep in mind, this is the first year of NET for bracketologists and they may not be accurate. Assuming they ever were, at this point of the season.
 
Howie Schwab, who BTN & FOX Sports is constantly referring & going to, has Iowa (BEFORE the IU win) currently as a 5 seed.

Note who the 4 seed would be (Iowa State) if both win their opening game.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????

Help me out. How can ISmoo be a 4 seed? They're 5th place in their own conference. Hardly top 16 in the country

It makes absolutely no sense to me either, but somehow the metrics & 'eye test' merits their seeding in the eyes of the "experts".
