NET Rankings are one of the biggest factors in building the NCAA Tournament field each year.
What Are NET Rankings in College Basketball?
The NET Rankings algorithm is composed of two parts: team value index (TVI) and an adjusted net efficiency rating. TVI is a result-based feature that rewards teams who beat quality opponents, especially on the road. Meanwhile, adjusted net efficiency accounts for strength of opponent, as well as game location (home, away, neutral).
How Do NET Rankings Affect March Madness?
NET Rankings help guide the selection committee when it comes to seeding the 68-team field, but it is not as simple as the top 68 teams in the rankings making the tournament.
These are one of many metrics the committee uses when determining the March Madness field.
When Do NET Rankings Come Out?
These rankings are updated daily beginning in early December right through Selection Sunday.
Below are the rankings going into the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
