ISU is now KenPom's B12 favorite

[kucyclone]

This is simply a sum of KenPom's Win% projections for the remaining conference games, added to current conference records:

1. ISU - 12.71 W - 5.29 L
2. KU - 12.51 W - 5.49 L
3. OSU - 12.42 W - 5.58 L
4. Baylor 10.49 W - 7.51 L

I'll take it. That would be pretty phenomenal in this conference.

Love it, yet no one is giving us a chance outside our fanbase. It's all Kansas and OK St talk with the occasional Baylor prediction.

If only we were a final four caliber team like EIU.

Is there rounding error in there or am I mistaken? Shouldn't OSU have a better chance than us since they have the better pythag and it's a true round-robin? Maybe we have a better home court advantage that's factored into his pythag?

I'm calling it pythag for all you numbnuts that get belligerent at the word rating.

helps that two of those three teams have lost yet again.

OSU started off 0-1, so they're looking at 12.42 - 4.48 for their remaining 17 games. My wording in the original post didn't address that. I'll try to correct it. Thanks.

Looking at two sig figs after 12-14 games... ehhhhh . What I would take away is that ISU has at least equal chances with KU and OSU, and that still makes me happy.

If only...

If only...

If only people we're smart enough to see through lame TV narratives and not take them so seriously.

Tell me bout it.

I knew this Ken Pom guy would come around and be our friend.

Not to offend anyone here, even I enjoy speculation. But you know that this will be sorted out on the courts in the next two months.. We have to play and win to make this happen.

Will 13-5 be good enough to win the conference this year?

 

[Cardinal2001]

There's one thing bad about being at the top: there's only one way to go.

But it's gonna be a fun ride!

Not when ISU goes 18-0...

Oh, derp,.
