For comparison, the Sagarin Predictor model has us as a 5 point favorite over second place Virginia. As someone else mentioned, some of these models don't take into account the full effect of blowouts.

I would argue that not all blowouts are created equally. The ability to throttle a team like Kansas is different than doing the same thing to Buffalo. Sometimes, the eye test really does tell us something more than the computers.

Re: Kentucky Now #2 on KenPom...

If this wasn't mentioned, KenPom also takes comments from one local media member and throws their opinions into the bucket of data as well. You guessed it......Tipton is biased!

And someone remind me, how many KenPom titles have we won?
