Kenpom Preseason Top 40

[ExitFlagger]

Missouri's 41, so this seemed like a good cutoff point.

I'm guessing you give f*ck all to the regular season matchup between UK and KU.

If not for this thread, I'd think you wouldn't be thinking about UK this early.

It's title or bust for every team who has 4 Championships or more. You must of missed the memo.

Are you saying I'm obsessed for mentioning the preseason #1 team? Who should I be talking about? Xavier?

I don't trust Beard. Without Adams, I think he's a fairly average coach. But he's probably going to have solid talent every year.

 

[jhmossy]

UVA way too high

I love that Pomeroy is a Hokie and his algorithm always has UVA high up though

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Michigan too low

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

A. If Iowa is 23rd then it's a down year for CBB. We have a bunch of skinny guards/small forwards who can shoot the ball.

B. Kansas is f***ed because I bet $100 on them to make the Final Four. Muwaahahahahahahaha. @ExitFlagger

Hell's the matter with you? They've gotta figure out who their center is before they can start dreaming of another final four.

Man, Gradey looks awesome though.

I also put a bet on you guys to win the Big 12, so you have that to not look forward to as well!!!

 

[Kevin Bryan]

How does his formula calculate pre-season rankings before any games have been played? What's the basis?

It's never the year to trust Texas, although Askew isn't there anymore so they're bound to be better by default.

He's way too white to be awesome.

That's because Michigan sucks.

If only we could be as good as *checks notes* Kentucky has been lately

Rupp would not approve of this message. 🤣

You can’t trust their coach though.
