Isn't the KenPom NetRtg just the difference between the current season's Adjusted Offensive Efficiency (in Pts per 100 possessions) and the Adjusted Defensive Efficiency (same measure)?

At the start, there's some magic carry-over formula from the last season he uses, but now it should be 24-25 data.

It adjusts for strength of opponent, but to my knowledge there's no "soft" data at all in the formula (how did a team "look" during a win or loss, were they playing on soft rims, is one of their guys shooting 50% from 3 in 2025, etc., etc.). I'm not sure there's even an adjustment for injuries. But I don't subscribe to KenPom, so just correct me if I'm wrong.

If you start scoring lots of points and holding other teams to low Pts/100 possessions, your NetRtg goes up and you go up in KenPom rankings.

It's why Gonzaga is ranked 11th currently when they have no good reason to be ranked that high. They pulverize the crap teams of the WCC which prettys-up their KenPom even though it adjusts for "SOS". I made a post about it in a different KenPom thread a week or so ago.
