Composite Top 25

[ericd7633]

I thought this would be a good time to check this out. I used BPI, Sagarin, NET, KenPom, Torvik, KPI and RPI.

This is the top 25:

1. Kansas
2. Duke
3. Baylor
4. Gonzaga
5. Louisville
6. West Virginia
7. Dayton
8. San Diego State
9. Maryland
10. Arizona
11. Michigan State
12. Seton Hall
13. Florida State
14. Auburn
15. Butler
t16. Villanova
t16. Penn State
18. Ohio State
19. Oregon
20. Colorado
21. Purdue
22. Creighton
23. BYU
t24. Kentucky
t24. LSU

Other receiving votes: Marquette(19), Rhode Island(17), Houston(13), Texas Tech(12), Illinois(11), Rutgers(11), Iowa(9), Stanford(5), Arkansas(4), Northern Iowa(4), USC(2), Wichita State(1).

One noticeable thing is that the metrics love the B1G, the resume based metrics(KPI, RPI) do not. MSU, OSU, Purdue, Iowa, Illinois and Rutgers not in the top 25 of either. Found that to be interesting.

Based on almost everything that matters (SOS, road wins, eye test), Baylor should be #1 by a fair margin. Not to mention they've already beaten the composite #1 on their home court, so I'm not sure how that happened.

Arizona ahead of Oregon very questionable.

Purdue and OSU being where they are both questionable, but I do understand at least why they are there.

Personally, NET is pretty good this year. However, committee is going to have a real problem with teams in the Big Ten with 13+ losses and NET<40. I think Providence will be in that group too. I hate seeing teams with 13-14 losses getting in but there will be a few this year.

That is odd given the resumes of some of those teams.

Looks good overall though
