Iowa too low at 19 imo

Seems legit. Nothing stirs my juices quite like a computer-based basketball metric ranking teams 3 months before a game is played!

Yeah, definitely much different than getting rock hard over a recruiting class rank before a game is played.

 

[AWilli6995]

BPI is way off on this one. UNC at #6 is way to generous.

 

[tw3301]

Is Marquette supposed to be that good?

 

[ExitFlagger]

Looks legit.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

ESPN’s preseason BPI rankings are bad

 

[Big_C_KU]

BPI is dumb as shit. They've had WVU ranked ahead of KU for basically the entire last 3 years. Don't believe anything ESPN puts out.

Not a big fan of computer rankings period, but I wouldn't dismiss it based on that. They've been similar quality teams during that span.

Kentucky is the 6th best team in the SEC, and Marquette went from NIT to Top 5 after adding one 4* kid from Wisconsin named Joey and a grad transfer from Fordham.

We should all be grateful that the algo that put this masterpiece together isn’t on Wall Street making it rain.

[rockycard]

A meaningless mid summer poll has one fan base going all whacka mole. Lol

 

[jwardelt]

Is Marquette supposed to be that good?

In a word. No.

 

[brooky03]

Cuse #7? Fvck Yeah!

 

[JimboBBN]

A certain fan has only been found in threads with the word Kentucky in it all summer. Little brother

Oh man, I thought only UK fans thought this was stupid. How dare you

We agree.....????

I see you wear gloves when you lift rockycard. Your hands must be the softest!

BPI doesn't take into account refs giving a 35-2 free throw disparity.

But it does take into account all of those W's Kansas puts up against WVU. So his point still remains.

Ken Pomeroy, the godfather of quant-based college basketball prognostication, states that even his system is unreliable for the first few months of a season because there's just not enough good data. These "rankings" should be taken with big grains of:

Kenpom is by far the most reliable imo.

It's funny that you guys can't get over this when you consider that officials call 2% of your fouls in every game played in Morgantown.
