This is a far better methodology than RPI until about mid-February. The two usually get pretty close together by the end of the season as the RPI normalizes.
The SEC has done a tremendous job of avoiding losses to sub 100 teams (Only 3 so far). Some good chances to get top 50 wins here in the next month and then obviously in late January with some very good Big XII opponents in the challenge.

I'm new to being a fan of a basketball school. I just don't get RPI or KenPom early in the season. It just seems to rely so much on stupid metrics that won't come into play for months, or on expectations.
For example:
49. Arkansas 6-1
Good Wins: None
Bad Losses: None
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: @ Oklahoma State (47)
62. Georgia 5-3
Good Wins: None
Bad Losses: None
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: None
70. Vanderbilt 4-4
Good Wins: None
Bad Losses: vs. Bucknell (141)
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: @ Dayton (39), vs. Iowa State (28)
78. Alabama 4-3
Good Wins: None
Bad Losses: None
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: @ Oregon (20), vs. Clemson (36)
91. LSU 5-2
Good Wins: None
Bad Losses: None
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: @ Texas Tech (37)
95. Tennessee 3-3
Good Wins: None
Bad Losses: None
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: @ North Carolina (3), vs. Gonzaga (14), vs. Kansas State (34)
100. Ole Miss 6-2
Good Wins: None
Bad Losses: None
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: @ Virginia Tech (33), vs. Baylor (11)
105. Auburn 6-1
Good Wins: Texas Tech (37)
Bad Losses: None
Remaining Top 50 OOC Games: Oklahoma (42), @ TCU (45)
Honestly, what am I supposed to take away from this?
I'm not convinced AU is better than those teams, but I'm certainly not convinced that 4-3 Alabama with no good wins is 27 spots ahead of us.
Nor am I convinced that our win over Texas Tech is a good win.
Someone explain this shite to me.

49. Arkansas 6-1

Barnes was left with shite after Conzone bailing and the Mike Huckabee hire. I think he'll right the ship there eventually

Vandy has a bad loss, is 4-4, and they are 70 while AU has a good win, is 6-1 and is 105? His formula is crap.
