NET Rankings are one of the biggest factors in building the NCAA Tournament field each year.

Here’s a detailed explainer of what NET Rankings are, but ultimately the 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).

These rankings will be updated daily throughout the college basketball season, and help the selection committee on Selection Sunday.
