Why not make it even easier and just contract with KenPom?
With the precise calculations kept confidential, we are left for now to compare metrics in the public domain. From my seat, the best "comp" for TVI will be ESPN's strength of record (as part of its Basketball Power Index, or BPI). The top public efficiency ratings in college basketball remain those of the inimitable Ken Pomeroy, or KenPom. Aspiring bracketologists will want to bookmark those sites in addition to the daily NET updates from the NCAA beginning in December.

It still pisses me off that they keep the exact formula a secret....but whatever

The formula is simple. It’s 11 herbs and spices kept in a secret vault in coke cola hq in Atlanta.
Yeah. But I also realize NET is slowly recreating what KenPom is already doing. Instead of moving slowly that direction, make it easier on everyone and go with the KenPom numbers.
I don't think they want to do what KenPom is doing though. Even Pomeroy admits that his metric is predictive, and shouldn't be used to judge a resume. A separate item should be used to judge accomplishments, which is the point of the selection committee. However, judging accomplishments will almost always be subjective, so you have to just create the metric based on whatever biases are built in and live with it (how much do you value home vs road, how much do you value games against top/bottom competition, etc.).
Somewhat off topic, but I thought WTF when I read this:
Seriously?? It's 2020, not 2000...
It would have the last few years. We have been higher in KenPom than in NET, and this change will bring the 2 closer together.
