When it comes to the NCAA Tournament selection process there is nothing more important than the NET ranking of the team being evaluated and more importantly–the rankings of the opponents that team has beat or lost to. Florida fans saw this first hand for much of the 2022-23 season when the Gators were firmly on the projected bubble until the final weeks of the season when they completely fell off the map. The reason the Gators couldn’t cross the bubble threshold and get into the projected field? A lack of quadrant-1 NET victories. With the NET being so important, specifically getting quad-1 wins in the NET, Florida will need to get through the non-conference portion of the season with some quality wins–of course while also avoiding any pesky quad-2 or quad-3 (or worse) losses.
