Looking at his twitter bio, he bases it off of KenPom.  Comparing the two, they are very similar.

That is just pure laziness.  If I wanted to know what the data and metrics say, I would just go to kenpom, et al directly.

It's not exact.  He's flipped a few teams and eliminated others.  But yeah, it's close.

He wrote an article on it that supports e why he did so and I think it's a fine opinion. He refuses to rank teams that haven't played on the road because he asserts they are effectively playing a different game. He also says he treats each week separately and reevaluates them all, so once they do play on the road, they will go to their deserving position, be it in the top-5 or anywhere else.

The best part was this:

I can respect that.

I can kind of see his point.   If we had scheduled a cupcake instead of on the road vs IU, our schedule would look 1000 times better to the casual observer.   A 9-1 record, losing only to the #1 ranked team, with wins over Louisville, Kansas State, and WI.     We'd probably be top 10 instead of 20+

I know of Cecil Hurt from the Paul Finebaum Show. I shocked to know he evens follows basketball. I though he was 100% a football guy.

The big question is what is Buffalo ranked and can they beat Syracuse before coming to Milwaukee?

I'm going to guess 21. We should pass Nova but will guess we'll drop on a few ballots due to not playing and not being top of mind.

Can they? Sure, but I imagine Boeheim will have the Orange dialed in after losing a buy game to Old Dominion. 2 straight buy losses would be a bad look, though they are both to teams that currently project to win their conferences.

Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Buffalo has been interesting to watch. They gained a ton of credibility by winning at West Virginia who was ranked #13 to start the season. Since then, West Virginia has gone 5-3 with 0 top 100 KenPom wins and 2 losses to teams ranked below 90 in KenPom.

Other than the win at West Virginia, all of Buffalo's wins have been against sub 100 KenPom teams save a 4 point neutral court victory over #48 San Francisco.

They are definitely a top 40 team, and I think may be worthy of an at large bid by season's end, but as a top 15 team they are definitely a paper tiger.

This discussion I'm sure will continue after the North Dakota game, but I had the exact same feeling about Buffalo. I do like a couple of their players.

So many reasons to want Buffalo to win that game - foremost for me is because if they lose, UB would be coming into Milwaukee desperately needing a win to even sniff the rankings for awhile.  And a Syracuse win wouldn't even be good film-room fodder on how we could go about beating them.

Several voters didn't have us on their ballot last week.  I'm hoping those voters see MU at 21 and rethink not including them.  Might grab a few extra votes.

I don't know if Katz has a vote, but he has us at 15 in his power rankings which may also differ from a ballot.

Up 1 to number 20. Villanova is the only other Big East team receiving votes, though they are no longer ranked.

Much closer to 19 than to 21 ... I always like to see that kinda thing for some odd reason.

Buffalo didn't make it to 12, darn it. Still at 14.

There's still voters with KSU and UW on their ballots and have us off. Its ridiculous how some of these guys can claim to take their job seriously...
