This week, the 11th week of the polls, we stay in 2nd in the AP poll and we stay in 3rd in the coaches poll.  We climb from 3rd to 2nd in Massey's computer rankings.  We are also 2nd in RPI (Louisville is 5th.)

Week 12:

AP  Stanford 2
Coaches: Stanford 2
Massey: Stanford slips to 3, and NC State moves up to 2 based on their 4th quarter against Louisville.  Louisville slips to 5.

Basically, all three are in strong agreement now on who the top 10 teams are--they disagree slightly about the order.

Oregon finally breaks in at 19 AP, 25 Coaches, and 15 Massey.

Arizona at 8 in all three.  There is unanimity about that at least.

Week 13:

AP
Stanford stays at 2
Arizona stays at 8
Not much changes except that Tennessee's loss knocked them down a few.
Oregon at 19 is the only other Pac 12 team ranked or even receiving votes.

Refresh my memory--doesn't the .NET ratings take into account the score by which one team beats another? IIRC, wins by fewer than 10 points over an opponent do not help as much as 10 points or more. One reason I was so irked by those crazy whistles at the end of the game.

I'm not sure, but did find this about the men's net:

With the changes announced in May 2020, the NET will no longer use winning percentage, adjusted winning percentage and scoring margin.

This is a good article about the women's NET:

The NET puts most of its weight on points per possession, or efficiency--one for offense and one for defense.   That is certainly related to scoring margin but not exactly the same thing.
