There are about five different metrics (Levels) that will be used in the calculation. A couple are obvious holdovers like W/L Record, and SOS. But there are no specifics on how anything beyond W/L record is to be calculated. 3. The other metrics like offensive and defensive efficiency et al will also be calculated internally by the NCAA and in some fashion with the help of Google. Again however, no specifics on what the darn calculation is. Without the arithmetic we have no idea what the numbers will mean. 4. No word on what the weight of each "Level" will carry either. The RPI was 25% W/L, 50% Opponents' Record, and 25% Opponents' Opponents' Record. But how much will W/L carry in the future? Or offensive efficiency? Or SOS? Or home/neutral/away factors? No one has any idea. It's like commanding the Theory of Relativity from the mountaintop without coughing up E=MC2. These are not small details.

So you have no way of replicating NET like you do for the RPI?
