In response to Bryan
Resume and quality metrics like KenPom, Sagarin, NET are different. Resume, as measured by WAB or ESPN’s SOR are based solely on wins and losses and are decently predictable in advance because the only variable is whether teams you’ve played get better or worse.
The quality metrics are tougher to predict because it depends on how much you win by. Technically, Yale could win out and scrape by in every game and go *down* in KenPom and similar metrics. But if it finishes 13-1 in the league KenPom and similar metrics will likely rise, because it has some difficult road games remaining.
The NCAA is silent on whether “best†is best resume, best quality or both. Thus, it’s unclear whether metrics like SOR or WAB (resume), KenPom or Sagarin (quality) or both are what the NCAA is aimed at to answer their charge of selecting the “best†remaining teams.
