Memphis basketball's NET ranking is outside of the top 50 following an 0-2 week with losses to Tulane and South Florida.

Memphis' resume is still OK, a result of a sum of its parts. Wins over Michigan and Arkansas aren't aging well, and the same can be said about home wins over ACC teams Clemson and Virginia. Taking care of business in close wins against Quad 4 opponents Vanderbilt and UTSA have been key to keeping Memphis' status ahead of the bubble for now.

The Tigers still have four Quad 1 games currently left on the AAC regular season schedule, including games at FAU, North Texas and SMU along with a home game against FAU next month.

Take a look at the NET rankings profile for Memphis.

What am I looking at?

A full explanation of the NET rankings can be found here, but the important thing to understand (that we know about since the NET formula is not public) is the meaning of the quadrants. You'll hear "Quad 1 opponent" or some form of it a lot between now and Selection Sunday, and the quadrants are broken down as follows.

• Quadrant 1:  Home Ranked No. 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75

• Quadrant 2:  Home Ranked No. 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135

• Quadrant 3:  Home 76-160; Neutral 101-200; Away 136-240

• Quadrant 4:  Home 161-353; Neutral 201-353; Away 241-353
