Ken Pom algorithm must have a constant of add 40 spots to teams who have not made the NCAA in years and Blue Bloods get to reduce their spots by 20. See Kentucky at #52 at 1-6.

The NCAA says they publish the 1st NET ranking in December, but it is not yet available online. That is the only ranking tool the selection committee uses. While the Ken Pom rankings are very useful for fans, I do not think they play a role in the actual selection process. @RamblinRed posted detailed commentaries last year that were very useful in understanding how teams are selected. Maybe he will chime in again.

Yea, its either very early, or the formula they use is full of ****, or a combination of both. Think about what your eyes have told you about the quality of some of these teams:
#60: Florida State
#69: Wake Forest
#115: Duke
I wouldn't publish something that embarrassing if I were them.

Haha this is the problem with equations looking to provide order to a chaotic environment. It'll clean up with more data, but this year is going to be jacked up anyway you slice it. Look at the Football rankings, Clemson getting waxed by a 6 win team? #CovidCrazy

The more games we miss, the more likely we are left out.

Finally some movement on KenPom - up to 61. These metrics are starting to look better. Still wish we were 9-1 and not 7-3, but we’re on the right track.

Also big move in the NET rankings, jumping from 70 up to 58
3-1 in quad 2 games is a great start. Need to pick off some top 75 teams on the road to grab quad 1 wins, otherwise UVA at home on Feb 10 could be the only home quad 1 win opportunity on the schedule. They are safely in the top 30 (quad 1 win criteria for a home game), whereas FSU is teetering (Jan 30 rematch at McCamish).

GA State loss, although it hurt our in state pride, doesn't look terrible from a Quad perspective.
I'll feel a LOT safer about our NCAAT chances if we can get our rank down to the low 40's/mid to high 30's. We'll have the opportunity to do just that over the next 6 games.
