Men's basketball way too early rankings

[trob115]

Kenpom: 16
Coaches poll: 25
AP poll: 25
11/21 bracketology: 6 seed
NET: 49
RPI : 2
SOS: 4

As of right now, we are in fantastic position. If we can finish out the non-conference schedule undefeated, we should be solidly inline to be on the 4-5 seed line going into conference play.

going to be a fun yr of watching the SOS/RPI/Seed as we go through a brutal SEC slate. Kinda like baseball now.

Interesting that there’s that big of a difference in NET and RPI. I know NET takes into account efficiency, but we’ve won quality games away from home by decent margins (caps at 10 points)

Wondering if that NET might be from last year actually. I found one on CBS that says 2023-2024 and has our current year record by it, but it’s actually last year’s final NET rankings with us at 53 but previous week was 49

Edit: I saw an updated NET on MGM as well that had us at 49, so I’m a bit confused. The NET for this year is lining up very close with this: https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

I think we have a great chance to run the table in the non conference. GT is not very good, but it is a true road game.
NT is always a tough mid major opponent

Yeah something looks weird about the NET. Mizzou is 3-2 with a loss to Jackson State and listed higher than us. I know this early it means nothing but even at this stage that seems off.

I feel like they may be tacking on this year’s results to last years record or something right now

I think ncaa will release their offical net rankings sometime mid December
