Auburn is 6. While lsu is 5. Auburn has more quad 1 wins. Auburn has More quad two wins. Have a much higher strength of schedule. We are higher in the RPI. And we just beat them by 15. Why is LSU higher?
Can someone explain NET rankings…

You get penalized 1 point if your coach is a cheating scumbag. That is why Auburn is lower
So if you beat the shit out of crappy teams, it helps you more than beating a good team at home by a lot?
If the win against the crappy team was on the road, probably.
The thing about the NET is that good and bad is relative to record. Beating an opponent that’s 20-3 looks better than beating an opponent that’s 12-11, even if the 12-11 team is actually ranked higher in the NET.
It’s a bit of a paradox where the actual RANK of a team you beat or lost to matters for quadrant purposes (and thus, resume purposes). But in terms of determining your own teams rank, the record of the opponent, the location of the game, and the margin of victory is what matters. The rank of your opponent does not factor into your SOS, the record of your opponent does.
