I would be stunned if the B1G finished with 10 top 45 teams. Conference is going to be down yet again this year. And they've done themselves no favors with everyone scheduling weak OOC for the most part.

I'm ok with Iowas ooc with Oregon, Cuse/UConn, ISU, UNI. Would've been nice to get anyone other than Pitt is the ACC/B10 challenge or to get a BE game though

Looks more like ACC-POM since he has 3 ACC teams in the top 4 and 4 in the top 8. Must not be aware that their are other decent leagues out there.

Because the ACC is usually the most top heavy conference.

Yeah, but usually only 1 or two teams that deserve to be in the top 5; not 3 of the top 4.

teams are ranked off of an algorithm, so there's no ACC bias here.

I don't think you quite understand how Kenpom works. It's an algorithm of a compilation of stats. It's not a ranking so to speak, only who he thinks is the best based on his criteria. More often than not, he is right. As you can see from the analysis below, last year was the first time in at least 5 years that his top 5 had a team that finished outside of the final USA Today rankings.

2018 Final Kenpom
1- Nova, ended up being ranked #1 in final USA Today poll.
2- UVa, ended up being ranked #5 in final USA Today poll.
3- Duke, ended up being ranked #4 in final USA Today poll.
4- Cincy, ended up being ranked #12 in final USA Today poll.
5- Purdue, ended up being ranked #9 in final USA Today poll.

2017 Final Kenpom
1- Gonzaga, ended up being ranked #2 in final USA Today poll.
2- Nova, ended up being ranked #8 in final USA Today poll.
3- UNC, ended up being ranked #1 in final USA Today poll.
4- Kentucky, ended up being ranked #5 in final USA Today poll.
5- Florida, ended up being ranked #10 in final USA Today poll.

2016 Final Kenpom
1- Nova, ended up being ranked #1 in final USA Today poll.
2- UNC, ended up being ranked #2 in final USA Today poll.

Thanks for the rankings comparison, Jeffro. I'd never heard of KenPom before this week.
