Auburn basketball is officially a top-ten team in the NET Rankings

The NET Rankings are a critical metric when it comes to college basketball and seeding in March.

Auburn basketball's hot start to the 2023-24 season and SEC play has helped boost their NET Ranking.

Bruce Pearl's team is currently ranked seventh in the NET Rankings behind only Houston, Arizona, Purdue, BYU, Alabama, and Tennessee.

College basketball metrics are fascinating because these NET Rankings are so important when it comes to seeding in March, but a 10-5 Alabama team is a top-five team in the NET Rankings.

Now, you could make the argument that Alabama has played a bunch of Quad 1 games, sure, but they are 1-5 in those games.

The good news for Auburn is all of the different metrics love them. Auburn is a top-ten team in both NET and KenPom, which will help the Tigers be a high seed in March, assuming they keep winning.

Auburn's one issue is that they are 0-1 in Quad 1 games. The committee loves Quad 1 wins, so Auburn needs to pick some up. The good news is that in SEC play, there will be a ton of opportunities for them to do this.

This Auburn basketball team is excellent and has a chance to be a three-seed in the NCAA Tournament if they finish with a strong record in conference play.

It wouldn't come as a surprise if Auburn made a deep run in March, thanks to the elite play on both sides of the ball and the depth of this team.
