Shit rankings

Just my opinion, Kentucky is much closer to 10 than 25. Our computer rankings are taking a beating because of one loss.

They're pretty low in offensive and defensive efficiency on Kenpom. Especially defensive. I don't think one game swayed it that much.

I think they've generally looked better than those numbers would indicate, but I've just seen pieces of games here and there.

NET more specifically. We are like 25 in that one. Which is pretty silly.

You're only 3.2pts away from jumping from 21st to 12th, so a lot of parity.

Kenpom: 30
Sagarin: 8
NET: 24
BPI: 27
RPI: 27

That ranking across the board has more to do with SOS and amount of big wins rather than the 1 bad loss.

Amazing UL just lost 2 in a row and is still ranked ahead of FSU. Doesn’t matter tho, we play soon. Even if FSU wins again, UL will be higher lmao.

I'm all for celebrating a confluence of several arbitrary cutoff points, but can we at least not do it in the middle of the season (which is itself another arbitrary cutoff point)? TIA!

We're almost to the conference tourney.

Just passing along their "fun fact of the day." Here's another one: Dotson is Kenpom's #1 player in the nation.

UK needs to start blowing teams out in order to really improve in KenPom. Its an adjusted efficiency metric and UK seems to play up and down to the level of its competition which isn't going to move the needle much for them since the formula is schedule adjusted.

I think UK would've risen a few spots had they held on to their 15 point lead vs LSU but they let the Tigers crawl back in the game so even that win as an underdog didn't do enough to negate only beating Ole Miss by single digits over the weekend when Kentucky was favored by 10.

You guys are winning lots of close games but the SEC interestingly enough doesn't have any top end teams but instead is perhaps the deepest conference with 7 teams clustered between #30 and #50 on KenPom.
