Rankings for 2021-22

[Bogg]

Seems like a 5-bid year for the league, with an outside shot at a 6th. 4 bids would mean someone faceplanted as the year went on and a situation like last year, where you're staring at the possibility of 3 bids heading into the conference tournament, would mean something went really wrong.

5 seems pretty safe to me. Marquette I think is looking at being around 10-10 in league play and with quite likely 3 or 4 OOC losses(still have @ Kansas St and home vs UCLA) will be one of those teams that is going to be right on the bubble. 18-13 or 17-14 entering BET.

I'd say right now way early...
5 teams 75%
6 teams 18%
4 teams 5%
7 teams 2%

AAC 125.27
WCC 140.50

bit of a dash of reality for the WCC. And yikes A10, MVC(and of course P12)

NET (thru games 12/5):

5. Nova
13. UCONN
21. Seton Hall
30. Xavier
37. Providence
78. Marquette
89. Creighton
94. Depaul
108. St Johns
197. Butler
247. Georgetown

Someone on the Musketeer Madness message board pointed out how the NET rankings don't appear consistent with the metrics they list as factors. For example, Houston is ranked #4 in the NET and Xavier is #30, and Xavier is higher rated in every metric listed on the site. In other words, there is no set of weights that could result in a higher rating for Houston if only the listed metrics are used. Any thoughts?

AP Poll (12/6):

#6 Nova
#15 UCONN
#23 Seton Hall
RV (#27) Xavier

Providence not receiving a single vote in the AP poll is absurd.

Xavier had a lot more close calls. The Adjusted net efficiency rating I think is big towards Houston. While yeah MOV is gone, your efficiency is going to still reflect MOV(if not moreso since there is no cap).

Houston #3 in the country right now in MOV.
Xavier is T78 right now.

In fairness to Texas Tech, their other 6 opponents literally have a combined record of 1-43. I mean it's not like those teams are completely winless... geez what a joke.

Adding salt to the injury, coaches have Tech ranked above X and Providence. Parrish needs to bring back his poll attack.
