After BYU’s come-from-behind road victory over San Francisco, the Cougars sit at 15-4 and in a comfortable position to make the NCAA Tournament field. The win over USF, who was 15-2 before the BYU loss, moved BYU up 4 spots to 26 in NET and 23 in KenPom.
The NET Rankings are the “primary sorting tool” the NCAA Tournament committee uses to analyze teams’ resumes. It essentially replaces the RPI and is a better measuring stick since it factors in where the game was played. BYU’s 26 NET ranking is good, but the ranking itself is fairly meaningless.
