It'd be so helpful if the NCAA would provide some details regarding how the NET is really calculated to figure out why that's the case exactly, but I guess we have to be satisfied with small steps forward, haha.
P.S. I think I successfully avoided the dual "our/we" problem in this post. Self Sporks! Haha.
