The reason KenPom adjusts efficiency is that killing Mississippi St is a lot harder than killing Mississippi Valley St and teams playing a weak schedule will have an inflated efficiency.

The big question is how much weight all of these factors contribute.

This is making my head explode. Let's just win all of our games and we won't have to worry about any of this stuff.

That sounds like my kind of plan, so let's do that! GBR

I'd guess the NET doesn't adjust for opponent because it's already doing that with the other metrics. Mot sure why they won't reveal the formula, since this is going to be harder to game than RPI. Seems like they're opening themselves to conspiracy theorists' charges that they tweaked it to screw certain teams. Not that college basketball fans would be that paranoid .......
