Aike’s way too early but here it is anyway Top 25

[Aike]

Having too much fun not to roll this out, even though there isn’t nearly enough data yet.

Remember that max possible score is 6. Typically no more than 3-4 teams are playing at a 3 level or higher by the end of the season. Sometimes not even that many.

1. Gonzaga 5.48
2. Auburn 5.19
3. Cincinnati 4.54
4. Arizona 4.08
5. UConn 3.92
6. Utah St 3.88
7. Houston 3.73
8. Tennessee 3.55
9. Kentucky 3.30
10. Penn St 3.09
11. Texas Tech 3.07
12. Pittsburgh 2.76
13. Mississippi St 2.7094
14. Michigan St 2.7091
15. Kansas 2.68
16. BYU 2.46
17. Stanford 2.28
18. Duke 2.18
19. Marquette 2.17
20. Alabama 2.05
21. Vandy 2.04
22. Arkansas 2.03

I do appreciate the UK respect.

 

[Deli owl]

No way U6 is 30

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Louisville way too high. Should be around 75.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

He has hated us for years.

 

[bowfreak]

It didn’t take long for someone to question the model…..

It’s not like you made it plainly clear in your title that this is way too early.

 

[uky8unc5]

Utah St caught my eye too.
But metrics only have meaning when we hit the mid season mark.

 

[runt#69]

I like it. Looks good to me.

Long season to go, a ways to go before we reach March, so Kentucky can rise to #1.

Also, lots of room for Kansas and dUKe to fall..... completely off any list, just like UNC***

... already !

Shaping up to be a fine, outstanding season !

Go Big Blue !

I’ll tell my people

They all mean something. You would just like to see consistent performance over time.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Florida reminds of last years Kentucky team. Loaded In the backcourt with Clayton, Martin and Richard but the frontcourt will be a question mark all year

Plus the overhang over the coach until that gets resolved one way or another.

 

[bbncal02]

UofSmell should get a negative coefficient anyway. Like VERY negative.

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

Looks like your #4 is in serious trouble

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Called the Duke game. Can’t argue with maths.

 

[Fox2monk]

Keep these up @Aike, it is one of my favorite posts every week during the season, it gives a great picture about how we are playing and how consistent/better we get throughout the year.

Agree. I didn't phrase my comment very clear.
The more games they play, the more meaning they have.

Kenpom is still largely based on his preseason guess.
