The NET Rankings are used heavily by the NCAA Tournament selection committee to building the 68-team field each year. But not only are the rankings themselves a key piece of the puzzle, metrics and records built upon those rankings also play a huge role, among them NET SOS rankings and average opponent NET rankings.

Here are updated average opponent NET rankings for the 2023 NCAA Tournament (as of Dec. 6):
