The 2024-25 college basketball season marks the seventh year the NET rankings have served as the primary metric for evaluating college teams for NCAA Tournament selection and seeding. The NET factors in game results, strength of schedule, game location, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses.
Wins and losses are categorized using a quadrant system based on location and the opponent’s NET ranking (e.g., Quad 1: Home 1-30, Neutral 1-50, Away 1-75). Quad 1 victories, in particular, carry significant weight with the selection committee, which determines the 68-team NCAA Tournament field.
CBSSports.com has a rankings tab with daily updated NET rankings with results including Quad 1 records and home-away splits, as well as a dynamic Bracketology tab. For a cheat sheet, below are the top 68 NET rankings through Feb. 24, 2025.Â
