There's still a lot of basketball to be played. Way too early to be seeding anyone. I still haven't decided if NET rankings are better than RPI. Bottom line is committee will give some teams the shaft while putting some Power 5 conference teams into tournament who shouldn't be there.

I read somewhere this week where some dummy said the Big 10 was the best basketball conference. Apparently he has never heard of ACC.

I grew up 5 minutes from Purdue's campus so I have always been a Big Ten fan, so I might be biased, but I don't believe its such a cut a dry case on who's better.

For the record, the Big Ten/ACC Challenge was a split 7-7 this year.

If you are going by the NET, then the Big 10 has the most teams in the top 25 (7) compared to 5 for the ACC.
Without me getting mad and verbally attacking someone, has anyone figured out if NET rankings are better than RPI ? i.e. more accurate ?

We’ve already verified that most of his claims are bogus. Why not that one too? Although we are now in a quandary. He’s claimed not to be a Troll yet admits to acting in Troll like Manner. So much like his predictions they can be simultaneously right AND wrong

As Oscar Wilde famously said, the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

That's referred to as "Schrodinger's Troll."
