Duke is this years Gonzaga. Plays a few tough games and the rest......so they blow out really bad teams, that isn't something that should be rewarded.
Auburn should be #1 team in Net and rankings.
Duke 7-3 against Quad 1
Auburn 16-4
Duke has played (14) quad 3 and 4 games
Auburn has only played 6 such games
I can't stand Pearl, I mean I really can't stand him, but the schedule and record they have put up this year is very impressive.

The ACC sucks. They can't help that. But Louisville wasn't ranked when they played them.
The quad records are what matters. The ranking itself is created through all sorts of metrics and not as important, especially splitting hairs between 1 and 2. Auburn's 16 Q1 wins are what will carry them, IMO, to keep that #1 overall seed.Duke is this years Gonzaga.

Oh, I think Auburn will get the overall number 1 seed over Duke. I just think the NET needs more tweaking. Blowing out bad teams shouldn't be rewarded as much as it is in the NET. You are correct, the committee looks at quad records more than anything. I just don't like seeing Duke have a #1 NET with the resume they have this year.
I like the resumes of Houston (my God did it hurt to say that), and the top 4 teams from the SEC over Duke. I'm not blaming Duke for their schedule this year, they can't help it the ACC sucks, but that's just the way it goes some years, and they should have to pay a price for that. It really is the same as what Gonzaga has done for 2 decades, it's just seems different because Duke is on the jersey.
No, it's not as bad as Gonzaga. 60% of the teams Gonzaga plays or has played in conference would win no more than 2 games in the ACC.
Hell, 60% of this year's ACC teams might only win 2 games in the ACC that most of us remember.
The point I was trying to make is that Gonzaga for 2 decades has blown out bad teams, played a handful of tough games and been rewarded for it. Duke is doing the same thing in a major conference this year. It's where I think the NET needs tweaking. It's the only explanation for Duke being number 1 in the NET.
Gonzaga at least backs it up and has gone to 9 straight sweet 16s, 5 E8s, 2 F4s and 2 NCRUs in the last 9 tourneys.
Yea... But Gonzaga has indeed been a very very good program.

That's why I think Auburn stays as overall #1, although there will be some hypesters pushing it. As good as Duke has been, they would not have even won the ACC outright if not for Georgia Tech, who beat both Clemson and Louisville but lost to Duke. Even some of the teams that people thought could be decent (like NC State, etc.) turned out to be just bad basketball teams.
