re: KenPom SEC Hoops Update (Quality Wins and Bad Losses so far)

So KenPom is still heavily reliant on preseason expectations, is that right? Meanwhile, in our example, AU went from like 200 to 20 something in RPI because it's focused on where we stand today (at least how RPI gauges it).

Yes, KenPom is largely useless at this point of the season, like RPI, although for different reasons (like you said, KenPom replaces missing data with predictors whereas RPI just doesn't have a lot of data).

If there's any site I'd use at this point, it's RPIPredictor. It uses Sagarin's predictor to predict what each team's RPI would be at a certain record.
