Division I women's basketball is moving to the NET starting with the 2020-21 NCAA tournament and will no longer use the RPI. Men's basketball made this move before the 2018-19 season.

Praise the Lord.

I assume NET can't be worse anyway.

The NET is determined by whom a team played, where it played, how efficiently it played and the game result.


I think I read that these computer ratings have led to the modern coaching practice of playing starters in blowouts until almost the very end of the game. Which I hate.

NET is apparently even more friendly to the P5 teams than RPI was.

The big advantage of RPI is that the algorithm was public. Anybody could calculate it so the NCAA couldn't fudge it. They've been quite pointed about not releasing the NET formula, which of course will lead to accusations of altering the numbers to get whatever their desired outcome is. The lack of transparency is a huge drawback.

One article I saw this morning said scoring margin is not a factor for the women’s, as it is for the men’s.

From NCAA.com’s FAQ:

Criteria used by the Division I Women’s Basketball Committee to evaluate a team includes (alphabetically):

Availability of talent (injured or unavailable players)
Bad losses
Common opponents
Competitive in losses
Conference record
Early competition versus late competition
Head-to-head outcomes
NET ranking
Non-conference record
Overall record
Regional Advisory Committee region rankings
Significant wins
Strength of conference
Strength of schedule

I agree completely. I would also like to see what the ratings would have looked like for the past few years.

yw Very Happy I was waiting for SDHoops to rail at me for my supposed hatred of UConn...but I guess she/he isn't lingering around in the off season.

I doubt seriously that any schedules will be released before August, because I doubt that we will know much about whether or not there will be a season and what teams will or will not play

I'm guessing they're all putting together tentative if-then schedules, but won't tell anyone until something is knows for sure.
