Fans have been pouring over NCAA Team Sheets for weeks, comparing Quadrant 1 wins, Quadrant 3 losses, RPI, KPI and a dozen other metrics, areas and more. And while the Team Sheet provides a terrific breakdown of what the committee is looking for and how your team stacks up, they can be tricky to compare without manually breaking down the numbers.
The Nitty Gritty Sheet, provided by the NCAA alongside the Team Sheets here, is one massive sheet with one line for each of the 351 teams in Division-I men's basketball, not individual sheets like the Team Sheets. It has 16 columns.
- RPI
- Avg. Opponent RPI
- Avg. Opponent Rank
- Overall Record
- Non-Conference RPI
- Non-Conference Record
- Conference Record
- Road Record
- Strength of Schedule (SOS)
- Non-Conference SOS
- Opponent SOS
- Non-Conference Opponent SOS
- Quadrant 1 Record
- Quadrant 2 Record
- Quadrant 3 Record
- Quadrant 4 Record
The awesome thing about the Nitty Gritty sheet — which is sorted by RPI — is that it's downloadable and can be converted into an Excel spreadsheet and sorted (or uploaded to Google Sheets and sorted). That allows fans to sort by SOS, Road Record, Quadrant 1 or anything else.
