NET Ranking: On March 17, Iowa is #43. How NET is Determined & What's a QUAD 1, 2, 3 & 4 Win/Loss

Lets face it; who cares about the AP Poll or the Coaches poll? Those polls don't matter when it comes to whether you get selected to the NCAA Tournament or not.

What matters is your NET Ranking and the Quad 1 & Quad 2 wins you have.

The original post has been updated with what follows.

Today (March 17) Iowa is #43 in the NET Rankings. Right now are we looking at an 8, 9, or 10 (?!?) seed for the NCAA Tournament?

TWO things
will be used by the NCAA Selection Committee when selecting the NCAA Tournament Teams & then seeding them:

(1)
The NET ranking, an index that incorporates the most current evaluation measures; and

(2)
A tighter definition of a quality win, classifying wins as Quad 1, Quad 2, Quad 3 and Quad 4.

The hope is that by using (1) and (2) we will have a more accurate selection and seeding procedure.


The quadrant system
will still be used on team sheets, which sort results in the following manner:

To date, WHAT FOLLOWS are the Iowa (22-11) Quadrant WINS & LOSSES. NOTE that:

* The date of the opponent's NET Ranking is listed.

* Similar to the NET ranking, a Quad 1 win on the date listed might not be a Quad 1 win TODAY or in mid March (there has been fluidity). Time will tell.

Oregon winning helped Iowa I think. Prior to that I don’t think Iowa had any wins away from carver against a team that was going to be in the tourney.
Can NET be manipulated via scheduling moving forward? The reason I ask? Nebraska scheduled a more difficult schedule this year and seem to be paying for it. What did Nebraska do wrong besides not winning enough games?

They must be thinking "how the hell is Minnesota in the Big Dance with a NET that low??"

Iowa ended up around #40 when it came to Tournament seeding.

Looks like the NET (Iowa was #43 today) played a huge factor in Iowa's 10 seed.

Everyone/all the bracketologists were expecting an 8 or 9 seed.

Interesting.
 
Slightly different on NET or do they have their own system? Any ideas?

NET is part of the selection & seeding process. But look at this:

NOTABLE SNUBS
#33 NET, NC State, 22-11
#35 NET, Clemson, 19-13

SHOULD THESE TEAMS BE IN?
57 NET / 38 Tourney rank, Seton Hall, 20-13
61 NET / 39 Tourney rank, Minnesota, 21-13
73 NET/ 47 Tourney rank, St Johns 21-12
