Like a good 2 points this week.

Id ignore kenpom,, hes still using last years data. In the world of NIL and transfers that doesnt make sense. Torvik seems more accurate and he has us at 4.

at this point, KP has barely any preseason (and previous season) data involved. Within a week or so, it should be completely out of the system.

The delta between KP and Torvik has to do with how torvik more aggressively downplays garbage time than KP...where we have not run away with things (or struggled, depending on your perspective). So for instance in the game yesterday, torvik gives us much more credit for a beatdown (since the game was out of hand) than KP (who only sees a 12 point victory)

Gonna agree with you there - when you go out and lay a stinker on the road and then don’t rebound at home, likely means field is catching on to something.

Goal posts are moving…..

this would only make sense if UM has won anything...which they haven't.

There ain't no banner for "KP #1, Jan 11"

Exactly! What matters is who is wins the last game of the year. And it matters exactly zero what one’s Kpom, RPI, NET or any other model projects. What matters is who has the most points.

You have a statement from him proving that? Teams are fully connected at 10 games.

Most of it was because of sites like Kenpom where people were stupidly using that site to compare across seasons which it’s just not meant to do.

Ranked 3rd in 2023 and 9th in 2026. Forget about the rating itself, the ranking against the field does say something. You just don't like anything that isn't rainbows and unicorn farts. No one has ever claimed that the comparison, now, predicts anything about where they end up. It is simply an interesting data point about where the two teams stand at the midpoint. Some people can handle it.
