The NET rating is ridiculous. KenPom seems more relevant.

I know it's early, so no need to state that, but there has to be some sense to the ratings.

Villanova is 2-5, RU is 6-1. I know Villanova is playing a tough tournament schedule, but they're 2-5!

• In the NET, Villanova is number 6, Rutgers 80 It almost doesn't matter if you win or lose, just who you play.
• In the KenPom, Villanova is 56, Rutgers is 36. That makes some sense.
• Even In the RPI, where SOS is important, Villanova is 291, Rutgers is 193. So OK - SOS is important hence a 193 ranking for Rutgers, but at least Villanova is lower.

Again, SOS is important, but how skewed is that? It's just ridiculous they are using that for NCAA consideration.

While early in the season, I think it just shows how poorly the NET ranking values certain metrics. We've won by an average of 30!
