2022-23 KenPom Rankings

[TheChamps990411]

Sort of... KenPom's pre-season rankings factor into where you finish. The pre-season data eventually is pulled out completely from the modeling, but the reality is by the time that data is removed it's already had a massive influence on how every team is perceived for the entire season, who makes the tournament, etc...

RPI and NET are more "pure" rankings, where it isn't calculated pre-season and pre-season perceptions have no influence at all on the outcome.

We determine where we finish.

This is the one bone i would pick with Ken (and have tried). He should publicize his "curve" using prior / non-game data, and possibly also give a "pure this-season" number along side it.
