In August, the NCAA Men's Basketball Committee announced the introduction of its new ranking system, the NCAA Evaluation Tool, or NET.
NET will be used to evaluate Division I men's basketball teams in replacement of Rating Percentage Index (RPI). The committee announced that the evaluation tool would be implemented with the goal of ensuring fairness.
On Saturday, ESPN.com's John Gasaway shared a graphic reportedly sent to Division I teams which demonstrates the five key factors that the NCAA will use to calculate NET rankings.
The five factors: Team Value Index, Net Effeciency, Winning Percentage, Adjusted Win Percentage and Scoring Margin.
