wow, for those who dont have a subscription, the algorithm projects we go undefeated until we play Okie state.
That might be an indictment of our OOC SOS more than anything else.

The entire Big 12 is in the Top 50...
I think Kenpom uses last year's stats for first part of season.

I wouldn't say no chance. Yes Kentucky is the favorite, but Mizzou is probably the second best team in that conference.
One thing kenpom uses in his preseason is a 4-year program baseline and we've finished 16, 17, 20, and 20 the last 4 years, so we could be returning nobody and still have a decent rating.
These numbers are useless other than to create some chatter. Missouri played Ku tough yesterday and led for much of the game. That shows how bad the rankings are for preseason having the Tigers in the 80's. I will agree with their top - Ku - and bottom - oSu - team placements though.
That's really interesting. Has he released an article or anything that gives an explanation for how he calculates preseason rankings?
Ranked 9th in the b12 and 34th overall. Lots of respect for the b12
I hope that’s not true...More important than 34th nationally is being 9th in the Big 12.
I can't find the original article that explains it all, but this ones provides a little more detail on what he considers. I'm not sure if he included specific home-court advantage this year, because I'm pretty sure ours is closer to 4.00 than the 3.75 points he's used before.

I’m going off the previous poster, but the general point remains either way. I don’t think anyone thinks there is that direct of a correlation.Texas is 37, Kansas State is 39, and Oklahoma State is 50. Can we get a math check in here about Iowa State being 9th?
