Just wait until the NCAA releases new numbers every time? That blows. Until someone reverse engineers it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhcmatt Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 The reason KenPom adjusts efficiency is that killing Mississippi St is a lot harder than killing Mississippi Valley St and teams playing a weak schedule will have an inflated efficiency. The big question is how much weight all of these factors contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot sure why they won't reveal the formula, since this is going to be harder to game than RPI. Seems like they're opening themselves to conspiracy theorists' charges that they tweaked it to screw certain teams. Not that college basketball fans would be that paranoid ....... hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
