The delta between NET and RPI for UConn is surprisingly large.  Also, Oregon (4th by NET and not in the top 8 by RPI).

Well, RPI was never really a power ranking, sort of an iffy strength of schedule ranking.

As of right now (through games of 1/28) the NET is:
1. Stanford
2. UConn
3. South Carolina
4. Oregon
5. Baylor
6. Louisville
7. UCLA
8. Maryland
8. Ohio State
9. Indiana
11. NC State
13. Arizona

Apparently, NET doesn't think much of Louisville's close wins over average teams.

While NET appears to be a reasonably strong statistical approach, it does give up a lot in terms of transparency.
