Why is Texas A&M 11 spots higher than Oregon?

TAMU is 20-9, Oregon is 21-8, Oregon beat them ooc ( I know not a direct data point), Oregon is 8-6 Q1 vs 6-7 for TAMU

Entering the final week, here are KenPom's projected B1G standings:

1) MSU 16-4
2) Michigan 15-5
3) Wisconsin 14-6
4) Purdue/Maryland 13-7
6) Illinois/UCLA 12-8
8) Oregon 11-9
9) IU 10-10
10) OSU 9-11
11) NW/Nebraska/Rutgers/Minnesota 8-12
15) USC/Iowa 7-13
17) PSU/Washington 5-15
 
Based on the Vegas spreads, the Spartans beat the odds over the previous five-game gauntlet. According to Dr. Green and White, Michigan State had just a 1.3% chance (1-in-75) to sweep those five contests.
 
I have not been in every arena but have been in most and would say Mackey is the loudest. Smaller round building with metal dome roof and concrete stands with solid surface seats is perfect for echo. I have been there mostly at it's loudest for IU games but also attended both league and non-con games with my kid as a student. Can't imagine a concert in there.
 
Will be interesting to see who ends up on the 1st team. My guess is:

Smith (POY)
Tonje
Brice Williams
Garcia
Bailey

I think TKR deserves to be 1st team but don’t see them picking 2 guys from a team that didn’t win the conference tbh.
