My underdog darkhorse this season is Stephen F. Austin (if they win out in the Southland, obviously). Not much height, but beat Oklahoma and Tulsa on the road. Think they pull a first-round upset as a 15-16 seed.

They are an intriguing team, but winning at Tulsa isn’t impressive. Tulsa stinks this year. I don’t see them being competitive vs. a 1 or 2 seed.

Last year Pomeroy wrote a piece about how his system pretty much is a success except for him not being able to get it to stop overrating Wisconsin, funny to see them ranked that highly again

My understanding is the problem is that Wisconsin is always extremely efficient when it beats up on bad teams, more so than most, and that ends up skewing the data just a bit. But in the end, Wisconsin hasn’t been THAT overrated by the system, only a little. They’ve been very good on the court as well as in Pomeroy’s ratings.

This year will be interesting, though.

Colorado is 25 in the RPI? That is a misprint, please tell me that is a misprint. They are 4-5 in PAC 10 play! It has been an ugly 4-5 too. They eyeball test says triple digits.

I thought the Texas AD clarified that nobody cares about college hoops this year.
He meant Texas hoops

That shit happens when you lose to this year’s WVU team.

I thought the Texas AD clarified that nobody cares about college hoops this year. What he said was a broad generalizable fact right?

The last few years, I have taken a look at which teams were valued most differently by the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) and by Ken Pomeroy’s rankings near the start of February, to see how those teams performed thereafter.
