Net v KenPom v Sagarin

[Paul C]

Interesting set of #s with some very similar and very different rankings....seems like each team has 2 very similar with one divergent result.

Wofford - Net 27 KenPom 28 Sagarin 47
UNCG - Net 45 KenPom 82 Sagarin 88
Furman - Net 56 KenPom 59 Sagarin 91
ETSU - Net 75 KenPom 70 Sagarin 99
SoCon - KenPom 10 Sagarin 16

Interestingly UNCG is the only team where Sagarin and Ken Pom align....and UNCG also has the most wins. Makes me think wins make more of a difference in Sagarin whereas Net and KenPom give a higher weight to margin of victory. Also, Sagarin is the "East German Judge" in all cases....

Sounds like Sagarin has no love for the SoCpn. Prolly based on history.

There is a clear bias toward P5 plus Big East and AAC teams in Sagarin. Buffalo is rated #20 by the NET, #24 by Pomeroy, and #26 by Massey but #39 by Sagarin. Lipscomb is #30 by the NET, #33 by Pomeroy, #34 by Massey, but #53 by Sagarin.

Sagarin's role in college basketball is to produce ratings that assist the power 5 plus the Big East in getting more teams in the tournament-nothing more-nothing less.
