KenPom 2024-2025 KenPom Rankings Thread

[49r]

It's that time of year again; Ken Pomeroy just dropped his rankings for the new season and hoo boy does the Big Ten look like it's gonna be a slog!  Once again Nebraska comes in with an all time high ranking to start the season (Hoiberg era) at #56.  Two spots ahead of last year's starting position.  In terms of predicted league finish, he's got Purdue winning the league title comfortably, then the next FIFTEEN schools are predicted to finish between 11-9 and 9-11.  5 teams each in the 11-9, 10-10, and 9-11 groups.  Nebraska is predicted to go 16-13 (9-11). Okay, and for the first time this season, here we go!

To add some contrast, Torvik has a slightly different outlook and he REALLY likes Rutgers for some reason.  He also has UCLA with the easiest conference schedule:
