NC State has beat nobody of significance away from their home court. Their best win of the year is Auburn at home. They played a patsy non-con - almost all at home - and blew them out, thus getting "efficiency ratings" from the NET.
This past weekend that put up 24 points for the game - at home - against a good Va Tech team. They stayed at 33 in the NET. Look at their RPI using the system from last year - they are 125 - because they have a terrible schedule and played everything at home. With the NET, they are an NCAA lock with a decent seed.
Nebraska is 12-9, 109 RPI, but they too are in the NCAA with a 33 NET.
I rest my case...

Oh boy, as expected, this sounds like a complete and total disaster, as if things were not already hard enough for non-p5 schools.
