Alabama at #8 in Kenpom at 7-5 tells me that KP needs to go the way of the RPI

KenPom always gets it damn near right on by tourney time .... the RPI was shit, dude.
They played 3 top 10 ranked teams in row and was in every game up to the last minutes. They will be ranked by the end of the year
People get a little too worked up about this. KenPom isn’t supposed to function the same as an AP poll rewarding wins and losses. It’s an efficiency metric that can be useful in projecting teams going forward. Alabama doesn’t seem to be as good as last year so far because their defense is suspect, but they’ve put up some formidable offensive performances that kept them in the game late against elite teams. It doesn’t seem too hard to believe that they could look better in conference play than their record would lead you to believe.
Not saying where they should be ranked, but I am saying that every time I’ve watched them this year, I came away unimpressed. They may kick our asses, but they just don’t look that formidable to me.
True but at some point you gotta beat someone.
Sometimes other things are a better predictor of future success than just record.
Most can see this when some crap mid major is like 101-1 but for some reason the same people can't see this when a team is say 7-5.
As with all of this stuff is it possible they aren't a top 10 team? Yeah sure.
But I wouldn't completely dismiss it either.
