KenPom 2013-2014 KenPom Rankings Thread

[HuskerActuary]

I thought I would start a new thread for this year's KenPom rankings.

 

I tweeted at Ken Pomeroy and he told me that his preseason rankings will be released the day after the AP preseason poll is released. That should be fairly soon, shouldn't it?

[Huskerpapa]

Based upon fan optimism, a bunch of new players, a great practice facility, a second year coach that really rocks, a new arena in a revitalized area, I rank Nebraska #1 in the rankings.

[Cookie Belcher]

Based on how his rankings work, I imagine we will be pretty low in the preseason rankings.

Okay, well, I was planning on waiting until the new rankings came out before starting the KenPom thread for this year, but I guess someone beat me to it!  At any event, I enjoyed doing it last year and I'll be happy to do so again this year, but if folks want to give someone else a chance, I'm happy to let someone else try their hand at it.

 

I've copied and updated the template from last year's thread over here and updated it with this year's schedule (using KenPom's last ratings from last year) just in case you want to use it again this year.

phew. you know you're getting close to tip off when Ken Pom gets invoked around here. hard to believe we're only a couple of weeks away from another season. i can almost allow myself to get psyched now.

[Handy Johnson]

I can only assume these rankings were made prior to the exodus of players to the NBA. Otherwise, IU and Michigan wouldn't be that high, or Sparty that low, correct?

those are the last rankings he did last season

Not rankings for this year

Well, they're here.  KenPom for 2013-14!  Once again, we start off dead last in the B1G.  But at least this year we aren't starting off in the 200's.  :shrug:

 

Nothing much really stands out to me other than maybe how high Iowa starts off, and maybe outside the strength of the Charleston Classic, there appears to be a lot of winnable games on our non-con schedule.  In fact, it may not be a whole lot more difficult than last years

8 conference teams in the top 35? Brutal.

His formula in projecting NU to finish 10-18 (4-14). That's two games short cause games 2 and 3 of Charleston are not included.

[Huskerpapa]

I see an exciting year, and I anticipate that we will surpised a lot of the so called experts before all is said and done.

[hhcmatt]

With our complete turnover in roster we're probably towards the top of the list of teams to predict

[49r]

Thought I'd refresh this before UNK tonight...mostly because I'm bored and anxious for the season to begin.  Surprise, surprise, it's identical to last week's.  So, not much to talk about.

Well at least we didn't drop any.

[NUdiehard]

What is the ranking for South Dakota State?

[HuskerActuary]

What is the ranking for South Dakota State?

#141

[Norm Peterson]

Thank you Northern Illinois for having nearly the worst ken-pom ranking in D1 hoops.  Couldn't you have won at least one or two more games last year?  Seriously?

[hskr4life]

343. South Carolina State.... SCS is worse than that

[Norm Peterson]

Terrific.

How can the RPI be out already without any games being played?

It's magic.

Gotta start somewhere, man!

No, seriously. Are these some sort of RPI season predictions? The RPI number itself comes from a formula that can't be calculated until games start being played. In fact, RPI rankings are even skewed useless until more than several games are played.
