You're going to be disappointed because you are using all of this information with no context. It's like deciding that a 25-5 MAAC team is the same as a 25-5 Big East team. You're position that the metrics are crap is well noted and is only reinforced by the way you misapply the data.
No. 101 USC did get a Q1 road win over No. 67 Washington . Will that help USC's NET? Probably. It's a road win and they shoot very well from the floor. That last part will matter because it's part of the mathematical formula. However, there's probably not a lot of difference between these two team numbers wise and it's a bottom tier Q1 win -- one that would become a Q2 if Washington falls out of the top 75 (why can't that happen?). That said when we wake up tomorrow morning our loss to a 12-17 USC team should now be a Q2 loss.
Iowa at No. 60 in the NET also did get a Q1 road win over No 48 Northwestern. Again will it help Iowa's NET? Probably for the same reason as it would USC. The difference is Iowa defended poorly and allowed Northwestern to perform better than average -- that balances out. Plus, the two teams are relatively even in the NET by ranking. That means the game itself probably won't move things that much since the teams are considered nearly equal.
Here's where you're really going to be disappointed though. Today is March 2, not January 2. All four of those teams (and just about everybody else) has played 29 or 30 games. The more data there is in the system, the less of an effect new data has. It's a lot easier to move the needle with an individual game earlier in the season than it is at the end of the season.
Iowa is probably going to have a hard time getting from 60 to 50 and making our loss to them a Q1. USC is going to hover around that 100 mark the rest of the season. Even if both things happen, the Selection Committee is going to take those losses and recognize that not all Q3 wins and losses (and for that matter any quad) are created equal. The change in NET ranking doesn't make a loss to a 12-17 team any more appealing to our resume.
