Road wins, even against bad teams, are HUGE for the NET rankings. Our NET ranking didn’t move at all when we beat Georgia at home but went up nine spots with the Missouri road win. I don’t expect to win at Auburn, but at A&M is doable and that would be absolutely massive and might lock up our spot in the tourney if we take care of business at home.

Keep winning.

Saw that. Really jumped after yesterday. Rutgers’ win jumped them 13 spots

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I don’t expect to win at Auburn,

Our negative fans suck.

 

[Maroon13]

That was a big win for &outhern

Top-35 NET ranking shouldn't be a bubble team imo.

What about our "fans" who say we suck cause we're only leading by 4 at half on the road in conference play?

They’re either Ole Miss trolls or the most miserable people you could ever meet. SouthFarmChicken is the worst. I don’t think he’s ever made a non-negative post on here.

How can South Carolina be the new #44 with a 21-3 record and a 3-2 Quad 1 mark and 18-1 Quad 2 - 4? NET like football recruiting stars are definitely a subjective field. Someone's algorithms are screwed up.

Edit - Sorry, just read McDawg22's post on the subject of NET

I've always thought we have a ton of OM trolls masquerading as State fans to make us look bad. Pysops.

Because just playing Quad 1 games helps. If South Carolina continues winning at the pace they are now - they will end up fine.

Using @TaleofTwoDogs point and South Carolina as the example: 3 losses - @Clemson, @Alabama, and vs. UGA. (NET 5, 29, & 94), I'm struggling to understand the NET formulation, as well, if one assumes it to be objective.

There are others, as well, that are head scratching: Michigan State, St. John's, by way of examples

One thing I'll also say is that while I've been one of the ones bringing up the missed Quad 1 opportunities all season, when you look at all the teams from 18 on down, pretty much everyone has a similar Quad 1 record. Those just aren't games that you're expected to win unless you're a genuinely elite program, so it's a big feather in a team's cap when you pick up a win there.

Because there is another factor- adjusted efficiency where SC is 45th. It’s appears to be agnostic of opponent. So it helps to beat the hell out of teams when you can.

No understands Team Value Index bc it’s not public. But it’s obviously an automated calculation.

Our negative fans suck.

It is hard to win on the road and Auburn is really good. I think there is a chance to win and be great if so but I don't expect to win.

Ben Howland understood it.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

South Carolina’s issue is a SOS of 126 and nonconference SOS of 296. That’s embarrassing for an SEC team.

He thought their formula was phen-ah-menal.**
