yall keep askin about how auburn can "secure a 1 seed" or move up in net so here ya go
outside of efficiency you can improve your resume
projected to go 8-2 over the last 10 with 4 projected quad 1 games remaining (vs bama, @arky, @florida, @UTk, miss st) we are currently 6-1 and projection is to finish 8-3 with miss st game dropping out of quad 1 status. go above projections and its gonna be hard to move us out of a 1 seed.
on the efficency side, auburns been improving its adjusted MARGIN (how badly theyd beat the average NCAA d1 team) by slightly few points, but other teams keep moving ahead slightly
without a doubt auburn has the best resume with baylor being solid second now (but 5 quad 1s out of 10 remianing games coming up). the problem is the quality (or efficiency) metrics. kansas is ahead for now because theyve played more quad 1&2 games (which is how net encourages scheduling tougher opponents). but biggest improvement auburn can make is beat bad teams by more. the margin between teams 4-9 is extremely slim so slight improvement will bump us up dramatically even if its just 1 game.
trends ive noticed is offense has steadily gotten better but defense has dipped by 4-5 points per 100 possessions and most of this is from how good we were at turning over opponents but its slacked over the past 5-7 games. against oklahoma we were still slightly below season average with 19.7% (21.8% is our standard) even though it seemed like we did better. gotta put the offense + defense together for more games down the stretch. Bruce Pearl teams peak in late february + march so IMO dont worry about it and just enjoy the ride!!! WDE
