How good are we really?
It's been hard to gauge just how good exactly we are this season. Let's look at what the different relevant and more prominent ranking systems say:
NCAA Net Rating: #35
Ken Pomeroy: #47
RPI: #48
ESPN BPI: #51
Sagarin: #57
Average: #48
The NCAA Net Rating is the new rating system used by the NCAA selection committee in place of RPI.

Re: How good are we really?
In our case, it looks like the NET rating system is backfiring. Wasn't the NET system created to keep schools like us OUT of the conversation for at-large bids?

Re: How good are we really?
Oh I think it's definitely backfiring. If you count how many teams are non-p5 or Big East in the rankings,
There are 3 teams in the top 10.
There are 16 teams. in the top 55.
If you count Big East part of the group that isn't in the Power 5, then there are 21 teams in the top 55 that aren't in the P5.

Re: How good are we really?
Agreed! With college hoops though I think there is a P-6. I think the Big East probably belongs in that conversation, instead of slumming it with us high mid-major conferences.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 6:43 amOh I think it's definitely backfiring.

Re: How good are we really?
My expectations were low entering the season. I thought we would struggle to get to .500. I'm very happy to be wrong on this. We have a lot of rough patches, but it doesn't bother me because we are much better than I expected.
Re: How good are we really?
I have been pleasantly surprised that the NET rating system has been the most favorable ranking system for USU compared to Sagarin, Pomeroy, etc.
I also noticed that losing big against Nevada (and looking bad whole doing it) dropped the NET rating only one point (34 to 35), while soundly beating Air Force resulted in a drop from 35 to 40.
This is where the system will catch up to the Aggies. The rest of the schedule is against teams that, in the aggregate, have a decidedly losing record. Even winning almost all of them will apparently not give the team much of a boost.
Nevada dropped from 8 to 29 with one loss over the weekend.

Re: How good are we really?
Didn’t they said they could tweak the NET at any time and that the algorithm is unknowable (by us common folk)?
Get ready for it to weight conference play by the big boys much more heavily, and all the little guys will start to slip down, regardless of conference record.

Re: How good are we really?
Technically we are #53 in Sagarin as the 'predictor' number is a more accurate measurement. Semantics and not much difference though

Re: How good are we really?
It's great to see the Aggies winning. Need to protect the home court while getting some quality road wins during conference play in order to get some post-season looks.

Re: How good are we really?
I honestly think that our team is good
there are some things that i didn't think we could accomplish
- hitting 100 points did that twice
- good ball movement

I think we are a good point guard away from being good and a great point guard away from being great.usubullzone wrote:I honestly think that our team is good

With Merrill, Queta, and a great point guard, we can fill the other two with role players. As it stands, Merrill, Queta, and role players risk losing almost every single night.
