Quad 1 wins are all that matter, except when they don't
Quad 3 and 4 losses matter, except when they don't.
It's better to lose a bunch of noncon games against teams with high preseason rankings than to beat tournament teams.
Kenpom has Ohio State ranked higher than Mizzou. NET thinks 13 loss Iowa and 14 loss Rutgers are above Mizzou when Mizzou beat their #4 team twice, including on the road and a neutral site.
These metrics flatly do not work and they've never worked.
