The NCAA Division I men's basketball committee is making changes to the NET ranking system.
The NET, the NCAA's evaluation tool, is moving from a five-component metric down to two in an effort to simplify and increase accuracy beginning with the upcoming 2020-21 season.
The two remaining factors are the team value index (TVI), a result-based setting that rewards teams for beating quality opponents, particularly away from home, and an adjusted net efficiency rating. Adjusted efficiency tracks strength of opponent and location across all games played.
