Comment on NET rankings do not justify teams being snubbed from the NCAA Tournament by NET rankings do not justify teams being snubbed from the NCAA Tournament – The Bona Venture - Mensoccer

Comments for The Bona Venture
Some of these teams were snubbed, but others believed they were snubbed only due to the NCAA Evaluation Tool rankings system and how the tournament team was selected.
The NCAA tournament field of 68 comprises 32 teams securing automatic bids, and the selection committee determines the remaining 36 teams.
The Evaluation Tool is a system used by the tournament selection committee to help determine who gets in, but it isn’t the deciding factor.
This caused their NET rankings to be misleading, and the selection committee ultimately decided against them as an at-large team.
NET rankings do not justify teams being snubbed from the NCAA tournament, as the committee uses the ranking tool to help make their decisions.
