Jeff is really good but hate the roster management. Cycling in 30+ transfers isn't sustainable. Bill eventually comes due and you just miss on everyone (ie our OL). Never hear about young guys pushing for snaps. Going to have to take 35 more again bc that's the only option without a huge reset year

It's crazy how much they emphasized result metrics, as NET, KPI, SOR, and WAB were all at a 73%+ correlation, matching or surpassing their highs from the previous three years

Torvik, which Bubba Cunningham said was used heavily, had one of the lowest correlations among all stats

We have metrics and data that tell us how good a team is over the course of the season instead of solely emphasizing a subset of a subset of games. Let's use them.

Which leads to ridiculous situations like a top 10 team in the NET being an 8 seed (Gonzaga) and the number 49 team being a 5 seed that's an underdog in round 1 (Memphis). The NCAA came up w a metric to rank teams over a season and only uses it to categorize win quads...

With that being said, the quad system is terrible and arbitrary and tends to suck all the air out of the room when debating these teams, and gets even more ridiculous when you realize the committee came up with the NET but only really uses it to decide what quad each win is in

West Virginia still absolutely got hosed relative to all of San Diego St, Xavier, Texas, and UNC getting in over them, and UNC winning by a billion tonight doesn't necessarily change that

Last 10 games was dumb and could be heavily influenced by SOS being backloaded, but we have plenty of ways to account for how a team has played adjusting for strength of schedule. Let's use them

The only explanation I can really give is Louisville's fate was set getting blown out by Tennessee and Ole Miss at the very beginning of the year- we know beyond all doubt they aren't that team now, but if UofL dropped 1-2 Q3 games the committee might've sent them to Dayton having won like 19 of 23
