2022 Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings

KenPom's algorithm has the biggest love affair with Houston. I swear they're always rated #1 at the start of the season by like 3+ points.

Part of it is previous finishes and they've finished 2nd three years in a row, so that helps. They were 3rd in preseason last season.

It’s a starting point - Houston will sustain with the Sampson defense.

First AP poll drops tomorrow, it’s like Xmas. Have seen two early voters from Pittsburgh and Nevada with UConn at one. I’m wondering if this will be a theme as voters don’t want to give Hurley ammo .

Villanova at 20 is crazy. What could that be based on? I know the algorithm relies on data from the previous season at this stage, but that doesn’t justify such a high rating. Nova’s roster is booty. Strange.

The HUMAN poll is a decent proxy and they had UConn #1. It'll be interesting.

Nova was a bit higher than you'd think last year, but yeah seems pretty wild. Dixon coming back must be worth a decent amount.
