It should go to the best resume. Between Santa Clara and TCU, TCU has shown a higher upside, but also a lower downside. The Broncos are more consistent. It’s highly unlikely you get the best of TCU if they make the tournament because they have proven they can’t compete at that level consistently.
In a call with Andy Katz, every creator of the metrics said that each metric should be used as a tool.
About the difference between college football and college basketball, the biggest difference is the structure of the sport. College football plays 12 games a season and one game a week. I would argue if predictive metrics were used, they should be in college football because there are less games and less common opponents (not saying I want that).
College basketball has a lot more crossover between conferences.
It’s all speculative tho. How could they be the best according to predictive metrics if it never happened?

Borzello also says they use seven metrics. Three are predictive, three are results based and the other is the NET which is a bit of both.
