Message: [QUOTE="Get a Job, post: 4210534, member: 9775"] But you would certainly admit that "actual record doesn't matter" in other contexts. Wagner only has 3 losses. Do you accuse KenPom of criminally underrating them at 130? You question KenPom's usefulness, but imply that a list of D1 teams sorted by win percentage would somehow be useful. No one says any metric is perfect, but in a 350+ team league where most teams don't play each other, you have to look far beyond the win percentage to have any hope at comparing the teams. I'm not even saying I agree that 43 teams are better than PC, but I think a time-tested rigorous mathematical approach to ranking D1 teams has a lot better chance of doing so accurately than you or me.
