Using a quick made up formula: #wins + (60-NET) + (70-Kenpom) + (Q1Wx2) - (Q3Lx2) - (Q4Lx4) = score

A: 7 pts
B: 74 pts
C: 58 pts
D: 48 pts
E: 73 pts
F: 64 pts
That is way more math than anyone should be doing that early in the morning. That’s more than I should be doing late afternoon.
 
It might help to have record in the quads, instead of wins-only/losses-only. I realize it's an informal exercise so we couldn't get the full team sheet details.

For Team F, should that be Q3 losses, instead of Q1 losses?
 
I pick B and E.

For me I eliminate A, C, D, F immediately. Metrics indicate they're clearly the worst. That just leaves B and E. To me B is clearly better then E. B has more good wins and less bad losses.
 
Almost all expert brackets have Wisconsin still in or first four out. Okie State is to me the one team that stands out easily. But they’re behind all the big ten teams listed for getting in. Makes no sense.
 
Anyone who has Team A in should immediately lose any influence they have including losing their AP poll vote if they have one. A team with a NET in the (high) 70s should not be in the tourney unless they got their conference's autobid. Christ there are only 68 bids and a couple dozen of those are going to go to small conference autobids.
