The 2023--2024 season marks the sixth season of the NCAA Evaluation Tool rankings which replaced the RPI prior to the 2018-2019 season as the primary sorting tool for evaluating teams.
The Ratings Power Index (RPI) was made up of three components:
- A team’s winning percentage
- Average opponent’s winning percentage
- Average opponent’s opponent’s winning percentage
The NET includes more components than just winning percentage. It takes into account game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses.
