The four main predictive metrics for evaluating teams heading into March Madness - the NCAA NET, KenPom, ESPN BPI, and Bart Torvik measure a team's current strength through advanced efficiency stats that are heavily adjusted for opponent quality, game location, and recent performance. Unlike pure win-loss records or résumé-based metrics, these models project how a team is likely to perform moving forward, with the official NET serving as the NCAA selection committee's primary sorting tool on team sheets while KenPom, BPI, and Torvik provide respected third-party validation.
This tool is pre-populated with how I believe the committee made their selection last year. However, with this tool, you are the selection committee. Use the sliders below to weight what metrics are important to you and pick who goes dancing!
Green rows = Safe / Locked at-large (Composite Rank 1-37)
Yellow rows = Bubble (Composite Rank 38-47)
