posted by MontyBrunswickfeel free to restate your original complaint but instead substitute NET for bpi and/or kenpom and then i won't have a retort
Thanks for the correction…glad they keep it so simple. All 3, be it pertinent or not show huge gaps between the two teams that are both 11 seeds.
ESPN BPI had thrm at 43 and 89

This reddit comment pretty much sums it up. The NET rating of a team isn't a ranking of how good of a team they are, it's just used to put teams into piles of Q1, Q2, Q3 to determine if you're a quality victory or not.
A true "power ranking" would be something like kenpom or BSPN's BPI where it ranks what it thinks the best teams are in order (2 would beat 5, etc)
Ken Pom has them 23 and 86
For the 2nd straight year I’m not buying the Mountain West and their 6 teams
posted by HereticSee how Akron got in? Poor dude on Kent State didn't realize his team just took the lead and quickly fouled an Akron player with about 6 seconds left. He made both shots and Akron won by 1.
Yeah crazy

Hate skipping and will probably hate this pick more...
Terrence Shannon Jr., Illinois
Dayton hasn’t beaten a single team in the field and they are a #7 seed
That doesn’t even sound possible
So the committee can’t really say they consider NET rankings much
New Mexico NET #22
Duquesne NET #86
Both #11 seeds
BYU gets Duquesne and Clemson gets New Mexico
Wondering if any ACC dudes are on the committee lol

I have nothing in it outside of I know Akron’s assistant Dustin Ford. He was head coach here in town when he got started and our kids were at same baby sitter.
My track schedule will keep me from going anywhere it looks
Pitt declines the NIT…players vote
#3 Creighton vs #14 Akron…game in Pittsburgh
Will be big Akron crowd
So Fields rejected 4 teams in trades before he accepted the Steelers move
A play in 10 seed game?
Excited to see Indians St as play in 11 seed

To go down that far from when I checked that evening seems like it was planned, not that it would matter.
I have nothing in it…just interests me
posted by gutNone. I'm just talking about the Yinzers creaming themselves over these "great" moves. Reality is hardly anyone wanted those two stiffs.
Maybe Wilson has enough left for them to win an actual playoff game. But I highly doubt it, and my guess is he looks completely washed in their jv offense. Fields will probably be comical if he gets a shot.
And they've apparently promised Wilson a long-term deal after the season. So I really hope he can still be a top-15 QB in their offense. Depends on how much Tomlin obstructs the new OC.
For $1.2 million and a 3rd day pick they upped they QB room and got rid of the main guy that didn’t want to compete.
I think it may be tough to watch early on and I think it could be very solid when it gets to be important and the weather goes bad. If they can avoid big turnover numbers I like the change. I really like the chances that one of them is pretty good this season. I don’t feel Pittsburgh has had a QB with any weapons since Ben retired….I think both of these guys could show a combination of throwing (Wilson) and running (Fields) weapons.
I like the move, not expecting a 12+ win season but I like the likely improvement. A lot of factors go along with it.
