I’m excluding their loss today, which I’m know will hurt then.

I have questions for someone who follows the college basketball computers. Why was Houston #1 in the computer rankings? They’ve only played two ranked teams. They beat Virginia and lost to Alabama. That’s it. The rest of their schedule is awful. Even the computers acknowledge they have 9 quad 4 wins.

I can’t fathom how they’re ahead of the other top teams with 1-3 losses in the computers that have way more Quad 1 and 2 wins.

I understand real people voting them #1 based on the players they had coming back from last year and the “eye test”. If voters think they’re really good, then that’s fine. I’m baffled by the computers.

I know we used to have posters here who had researched all the computers and knew their differences. Is there still anyone who can explain Net? I know the committee switched to using it over RPI a few years ago.
