Fluoxetine College Basketball Rankings 2023-2024

Only annoying thing is not being in the "top25" when checking espn scores/schedule lmao.
Florida's non conference schedule is weak. One ranked team, Baylor. Here is what I see as a weak schedule:

Loyola MD a win “NOT RATED”
Virginia a loss “NOT RATED”
Florida A&M a win “NOT RATED”
Florida State a win “NOT RATED”
Pitt a win “NOT RATED”
Baylor a loss (was ranked #13 then, now #11)
Wake Forest a loss “NOT RATED”
Merrimack a win “NOT RATED”
Richmond a win “NOT RATED”
East Carolina a win “NOT RATED”
Michigan a win “NOT RATED”
Grambling a win “NOT RATED”
Quinnipiac a win “NOT RATED”

In the SEC Florida has lost 4 games. 2 to ranked teams and 2 to unranked teams. One big win over Kentucky and the other wins are over unranked teams.

I am not involved in polls but a very weak preconference schedule does not result in high rankings mid way in conference play.

You're forgetting we gave Auburn their worst loss of the year.

Sorry 954gator, I really enjoy your posts, but I was trying to put some sunshine on why Florida was not getting more rating attention.

Florida did beat Auburn at Florida by 6 more points than Kentucky beat Auburn at Auburn.

Yeah we squandered some good opportunities with close losses early on. Doesn't help FSU and Michigan are having such bad seasons. Early on the ooc looked much better than it ended up being. Michigan, Baylor, FSU, Pitt, Virginia, Wake etc. Definitely hurt we lost a few that could have went our way for sure. Baylor was the only game where I said ok they just played really great. Virginia and Wake we shoulda beat IMO. Hurt not having some of our players early on.

Agreed.

Kansas at 15? lmao. They have won 1 game in the last three weeks. Im guessing youre just looking at the name?
Here is their record the last 3 weeks.
L by 20
L by 30

Yeah, thats a good team. Eyeroll
 
Ranking is for the entire season. Hope that helps.
No it doesnt. Basketball seasons are fluid and ever evolving thing. Just because Kansas was hovering around top 10 3 months ago, doesnt mean for the season they are 15th. They spent the last 3 weeks week at about 78th. If you want it for the season you have to average the good and the bad.

Sweet Jesus. Does someone actually need to explain to you how computer rankings work?

I'd love to see you tell a room full of basketball analysts that KU shouldn't have been invited to the Dance, just to watch them laugh in your face. 😆

Ok, well tell that to the committee who seeded Kansas 14th, or to Kenpom which has Kansas #22, or to Bart Torvik who has Kansas #16, or to Kenneth Massey who has Kansas #13, or to whoever designed the NET which has Kansas #19, or to any of the designers of these computer ratings (https://masseyratings.com/ranks?s=cb) who collectively have Kansas #16.

Its all wrong man. Dayton finished 23rd. Michigan State with their 15 LOSSES got in,Net 24. Boise State with a super high Massey. Lol its a freaking joke. These idiots have completely re invented the wheel and its a square now.

Ive always hated the idea of march madness expansion, but at this point they are leaving such better teams out and letting such worse teams in its necessary.

Well done. Honestly, I think your ratings are better than Kenpom this year.

Ken Pom and the NET are the most idiotic thing ive ever seen in sports.
Coaching LEGEND, agrees;
"“I think we all should probably never mention that word [NET] again because it’s fraudulent,” Pitino said. “I think the NET is something that shouldn’t even be mentioned anymore. I think we had a good strength of schedule [in] KenPom [rankings]. Why mention him? We tried to play a tough schedule, we tried to do things the right way, and we didn’t get in. But I never make excuses.”"

What's your point? I'm not a Kenpom or NET fanatic by any means. Obviously no computer ranking is going to be perfect.

Your crusade to convince people that a 4 seed (which probably would have been a 2 seed without injuries) shouldn't be in the field won't look any less dumb no matter what you post. You should really just quit while you're behind. 😆

Well I've got great news for you buddy. Virtually all the opening lines in sportsbooks are set using models like these. If you know better, you should be able to make a shitload of money.

Not that what a coach thinks about a ranking (especially regarding his own team lol) means anything, but you are also confused about why he's mad lol. The NET says his team is good.. #32.. easily good enough to be in the tournament and yet they've been left out. He's mad at the humans, not the computer.
