Not to mention their current team is a shell of their former self. Not their fault, but still reality.

Gonzaga, Houston and Arizona are good teams, but their resumes and schedules are far too weak to be ranked this highly in the AP. AP rankings should consider predictive analytics as a tool, but should more closely reflect a strength of record ranking rather than a predictive modeling.

NET is sort of an attempt to find a middle ground between the predictives like KenPom and the resulte oriented stuff like RPI.
Any system is going to be a hodgepodge given how college sports work.

AP voters respect the LSU gauntlet they just went through

And I say that as someone who appreciates keeping up with KenPom, Bart Torvik, and team rankings on a regular basis. Those models provide value that was often ignored and ridiculed in the past.

4 conference wins in a row, re-rank us you cowards.
Posted on 1/24/22 at 12:00 pm to FlyDownTheField
Glad to see we didn’t drop. Thought we played pretty well considering it was on the road against a higher ranked team.
