Exactly... Ken Pom them 20 spots higher than UM in his ratings. WTF?
For argument's sake...UVA is 6-7 vs. RPI top 50 (Miami (FL) is 3-7), UVA also has the 5th ranked SOS, including 2 wins against 3 RPI Ville.
They've also lost 4 in a row while we've won 6 of 8 (or is it 7 of 9) and won on their homecourt without our second leading scorer.
Computers don't care about what players are missing. Computers also don't care about streaks.
Losing 4 in a row including a home loss to UM...and they are 20 spots higher than UM... and UM is a game better in the overall and league standings??? 20 spots? Something's not quite right. UM is at 29...fine...but UVa at 9?
I know the selection committee looks at the last 5 and 10 games when seeding.
It's a statistical algorithm. Complaining about Kenpom ranking is like complaining about water being wet.
