Basketball NET Rankings are LIVE

[Richie O]

Rutgers currently sits at No. 72.

 

[RU72]

Of significance:

Purdue-5

Princeton-8

Rutgers-72

Seton Hall-81

Bryant-156



Given the relatively weak schedule,this speaks to decent Rutgers efficiency numbers.
I have Princeton losing at St. Joe's,Yale and Cornell, which based on my rudimentary run of numbers and some guesses, would put them around 38, if they continue to play as efficiently and hence a Quad One loss.

Princeton landing at 8 is the big takeaway. The RU non conference sos is 225 currently and 174 overall as listed on the team sheet. Princeton ranking is big time and while its early, mid major schools that do land well early in the NET meaning top 20 net have a tendency to stay up there if they keep winning...see Fla Atlantic last year. There is a very good chance that Princeton will be a Q1 game and almost positive no worse than Q2

The Big 10 is currently rated 2nd so after a poor start to the non conference they have recovered. Big 12 tops with Big East 3, SEC 4 and ACC rounding out at 5.

Again its early so there will be some sizable individual shifts. RU landed about where I expected them to given their performance and their ooc sos number is higher than the 304 i so last week on Ken Pom Gtown will wind up Q3 at worst while Bryant will probably switch and go to Q4 when all is said and done.

so whats left non conference and current Quad catagory

(133) Wake Forest barely Q2/Q3
(81) Seton Hall Q2/close to Q1
(316) Long Island Q4
(40) Mississippi State Q1
(349) Stonehill Q4

I do notice that for once the West Coast Conference is going to have to play catchup this year. Gonzaga's numbers are down and St Marys at 2-5 is tanking the usual strong numbers.

The pesky Mountain West led by Colorado State at 7 once again has a bevy of schools off the strong starts and look well placed in the initial net

if any conference gets 10 this year its the Big 12...stacked

 

[Scarlet Shack]

We need to end December 9-3 or better to not have a uphill climb in big ten play to make the NCAA

 

[LeapinLou]

In light of this information, Wake is a big one. We need to avoid an early loss outside of Q1 and get a road win, or the resume starts tanking.

 

[Degaz-RU]

In light of this information, Wake is a big one. We need to avoid an early loss outside of Q1 and get a road win, or the resume starts tanking.

Agreed. Wake is practically a must win game. We can't have our OOC resume basically be 7 wins against cupcakes and 4 losses against top 100 teams.

Indiana(6-1) at #137 is interesting BUT

The only loss to UConn by 20pts
6pt win to #296 FGCU, 8pt win to #354 Army and 8 pt win to #279 Louisville, net ranked teams that you should beat by more if you want to be rated higher in the NET. It is way too early though.
