The NCAA releases first NET rankings of the season, the list and what you need to know about the rankings

What the NET rankings mean per the NCAA:

  • The NCAA uses the NET rankings for the NCAA tournament.
  • The NET rankings do not include preseason data or games played against non-Division I opponents.
  • In a typical year, teams will have played 10 to 12 games at this point in the season (after 40 days). “The average number of games played is slightly lower this year, and several teams have played fewer than five games thus far.”
  • As more games get played, the more stable the NET rankings will become.
  • The NCAA considered not including teams that haven’t played five Division I opponents yet but decided to include everyone as all teams will soon reach that threshold.
  • The NCAA is studying the impact of teams having little no fans at home games on home-court advantage compared to a typical year.
  • While both the men’s and women’s NET rankings share high-level goals and individual components, the NET algorithm used in each is different.
