[quote=āTRLeader, post:13, topic:22417ā]We have had a few good outings[/quote]wtf? a āfewā? we also have no bad outings.
We have no bad losses. On the other hand, weāve had 5 1/2 bad outings (giving us half credit for the GT game).
the selection committee has not looked at margin of victory/losses in the past. why is it suddenly such a big issue with us this year?
I like Kenpom, but site was better when he still had the RPI rankings as well. Still refer to it several times a week anyway, especially when looking at what teams/conferences did over past seasons record-wise, post-season, etc.
Oddly enough, he āerasedā the RPI section altogether when he stopped calculating those rankings, so canāt look at the archives for that anymore. BTW, those W-L predictions are fluid, so they will change as long as we keep winning.[/quote]
I pretty much agree with all this. Iāve used Kenpomās website for several years now. I thought it was way better before he took out RPI, but it is still a great resource. His display of stats is really nice for a getting a feel of a team, but you have to know how to read some stuff, such as contributors. That ranking only tells you basically who takes the most shots. His display of a schedule and projected wins/losses versus projected record are not calculated the same.
I donāt like his system for ranking teams tho. It is based entirely too much on margin of victory imo. I still like RPI better. However, his site is intended to predict who will win games (a betterās guide kinda) rather than actually rank teams.
He had left the RPI stuff intact until recently because I still used it. Have to find another site to use for old RPI reference.
