    From what I can tell- winning @Marquette, and they don't have the bad losses Xavier does. The difference between 52 and 70 is really only a game or two difference.

    Well, they don't have any Quad 3/4 losses. We've got 2 Quad 3 losses.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Another head scratcher is Minnesota beat Penn State 77-72 yesterday. 14-18 Penn State went from 49 down to 47 and Minnesota went from 56 up to 57. I get the whole season thing but how can St Johns’s go from 64 down to 72 after losing a game to 29 Marquette (with a 10 point cap).

    NET rankings have an anti-Catholic bias, during Lent even.

    Sure the whole season is in play...but those bad losses were included yesterday....and it said we were at 70. Again, I know there are other factors, but the bad losses have been being calculated.

    Never a truer statement.

    The real takeaway is we have to win the BE.

    I suspect SJU's offensive and defensive efficiency took a hit yesterday. But I agree, losing to the #29 team, even badly, shouldn't make a team drop that much.

    I realize any margin of win above 10 points isn't counted, but the score is effectively counted via the efficiency ratings. I also get it that a team that wins by 30 played better than the team that beat the same team by 5. But it still bothers me some that margin of victory apparently has a significant effect on the ratings.

    Our bad losses are worse then Creighton's.

    Yeah, I get the whole Quad wins/losses, how previous opponents are doing, opponents opponents, and opponents opponents opponents etc., but it doesn't seem like any of this should trump or even have near as much bearing as actually winning the damn game.
