There is confusion here conflating Net Rating with NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool). The Net rating is as I described above; Net Rating = (Offensive Rating-100)+(100-Defensive Rating). You can verify this by doing the math on your insights page. It works correctly but because it only displays tenths rounding takes place.

What you're speaking to is the NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool) which uses Adjusted Net Efficiency and Team Value Index. The Adjusted Net takes into account strength of opponents and location of games while the TVI is an algorithm based on opponent, location, and winner. Net Rating, as displayed on the Insights page in game, is an efficiency metric as explained above.
When you look at the Team Sheet you see four quadrants where your games are placed. In each quadrant you can see the criteria for entry and will notice there is a range for home, neutral, and away games. What the game is doing is using the Net Rating efficiency metric to place teams in quadrants based on location of the game. Behind the scenes a calculation is done weighting losses and wins according to quadrant and determining strength of schedule, adjusted Net rating, and poll results.
(Edit: some of the confusion is the all caps formatting, on the Insights page it would read Net Rating whereas it’s being confused with NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool)
