Why are we (SEC) so bad at basketball? It makes absolutely no sense. Without Kentucky, we wouldn't have a single team in the top 20 of those rankings. Hell, we invited Missouri into the conference specifically to boost our basketball credentials and now even THEY suck. We are to basketball what the ACC is to football, although even that is giving us more credit than we deserve. Maybe more like Conference USA? People love to say, "well we're a football conference". Okay, sure, but we should be good at basketball for some of the same reasons. The population base continues to shift to the south, and just like for football, that means we should have a much larger and deeper talent pool to choose from. Our athletic facilities are becoming better and better, and the athletic departments are flush with cash for all the essentials (coaching salaries, facility upgrades, recruiting staff, etc). All of that should mean we get more than two teams in the top 25. It's a godamn embarrassment.

I don't know much either, but I agree with you. not sure how this power ranking works, but I see 4 teams Ole Miss defeated ahead of us, with overall records and conference records that are equal or less than what the Rebels have.

The problem is all these teams have to start SOMEWHERE. They overrate the big 12, the big east, they underrate the sec. The sec routinely has multiple teams playing on the 2nd weekend of the tourney and it's not just Kentucky. I mean shite, teams like Stony Brook and Yale are ranked high. I think a lot of these are just ridiculous

I don't think you know how KenPom works

I wonder if Alabama getting trounced twice earlier in the season before they changed the style of play skewed the ratings a little bit(Offensive efficiency and Defensive efficiency). Bama is 6-7 against teams rated higher so maybe it is right on the money.

I quite enjoy football only fans' puzzled reaction to KenPom.

I get how KenPom works, but it's still a fricking terrible system in terms of accurate rankings. Missippi State is in the Top 100, Vandy is in the top 30, and Arkansas is 2 spots behind Alabama with a losing record. It gives no shits about winning or losing games (ya know, the whole reason you play the game).

I wasn't talking about you.

Why so funny? Yes you beat us in Nashville, but we were without Kornet. We have also improved immensely since then. Its not where you start but finish.
Look for us to take down Kentucky in Nashville then you will believe. And I know Gamecocks fans made the same claim about Kentucky, but we know Kentucky a lot better and they don't intimate us in the least.
