KenPom Just Dropped

[Skyguyb27]

He’s the king of preseason rankings. It’s the tournament that gives that fat hog problems.

He’s usually a top notch coach in the rankings but then when the season starts and he has to coach is when he nose dives.

I honestly won't have an inkling of what this team can be until I watch the first real game. I'm glad people are sleeping on this team. Beats being overestimated every year like we have to the past imo.

It's meaningless until there are games played, I would say at least 5 per team. So, any modeling right now, has way too many assumptions to be valid.
This is coming from a Statistician who has developed a model.

Yeah.

It’s just a baseline to help predict early season games. The model performs better in those games with it than without it.

As we play more games, the preseason ranking becomes less and less relevant.

i'm ok being at 42, We have been given good ratings for the past 10 years and then didn't live up to them. when the SEC starts we will be in the top 20 and have earned it,

 

[Cleatortoises]

20-11 (10-8) is likely and not horrible under the circumstances.

Likely?
*coughbullshutecough*

 

[Smashcat]

Fanta'a Top 25.

Nah. If someone wants to believe we could lose 4/5 to start SEC play... ok, that's whatever. But this team is not finishing the season like that. And I don't even have to look at the schedule. I expect us to be a real problem by the end of conf play.

Seriously, with the experience on this team, we should be a problem from the start. It takes every team some time to reach their true form and, we will get better as the season wears on. At the same time, if the hype is even close to real, we should be good from day one.

Likely?
*coughbullshutecough*

In this years SEC, that's likely a top 25 team. I think that's fair. Not the ceiling, for sure. But probably not the floor either.

KenPom doesn't mean much until it has sufficient data to stabilize.

Yes it usually takes nearly a half a season to come to any meaningful data.
