Bruin, you have to have the index to determine quadrant wins. Therefore, the NET is not meaningless. You have to somehow rank the teams in order to determine what quadrant the wins are in.
You can't use polls to determine quadrant wins because they are biased by humans, and teams fall out of the top 25 during the year. You have to have a metric first to establish quadrants.
Yea that's true. From what we have seen here the RPI is much better to use for that ranking. No way in hell a Clemson at 1-10 should be in the top 40. Their RPI is much more accurate imo
