No kidding. Tell me you don’t pay attention without telling me you don’t pay attention.
That is funny. Curious whether he has figured out his mistake yet.

I just made him aware of it (assuming he reads his twitterx feed).

ignoring the voter error, it is interesting to me that our total AP points moved from 567 (217 points behind #12) in week 6 to 732 (26 points behind #12) in Week 7 voting.
We "gained ground" even though we moved back one spot in the poll. If you add our "missing" 16 points, we would only be 10 points behind #12.
If we beat Michigan this week, I expect a good bump since they are a name team.

There’s an article on espn talking about the possibility of the SEC getting 13 teams in the tourney!?!? That probably won’t happen but I could see 10-11 teams getting in. It will be interesting to follow this season.

It’s absolutely possible. The committee doesn’t consider conference affiliation when selecting the field, so there is no artificial cap. But the likelihood is that a few teams will struggle to keep up once league play starts, so 11-12 might be more realistic.

Kenpom currently has OU ranked #36; that's 11 spots behind Michigan (8-3) and 12 spots behind Arizona (5-5), both of whom we've beaten on a neutral court. That's a little bit silly. At some point, you have to move past perceived talent in favor of on-court results, don't you?

It is frustrating, bc the NET-Eff rating has us so low. Hopefully there will be some adjustments made.
For example, no reason to have Maryland above us. MD is above us in both barttorvik and KenPom, which is silly.
#16 MD - 9-2, SOS 344
#36 OU - 11-0, SOS 258
Why are they ahead of us? Bc of Off-eff rating...they have basically been curb-stomping weaker opponents with winning margins of 50, 34, 31, 71 and so on.
They also have 7 games against 250+ KP rated opponents, OU only has 5.
It will even itself out eventually, but definitely frustrating to say the least.
NET as it stands for OU:
Q1: 2-0
Q2: 2-0
Q3: 1-0
Q4: 6-0

KenPom doesn’t factor in results, including head to head. It’s a per possession metric. Other metrics are results based. The committee uses a mix of several of each

Almost all the metrics don’t like us. There was a blurb about it today in The Athletic where they compared us to similar teams over the past decade and in general, those teams have not ended up doing all that well over the course of the season.
What an unnecessary comment with the only possible goal of creating non-constructive arguments and/or derailing a thread. A bit hypocritical how you’re doing the very thing here that many - yourself included - complain that other posters on this board do in creating unnecessary dissension, don’t you think? Can we all not agree to just be above this type of sarcastic, petty behavior?
