People who base their rankings purely on KP should have their voting privileges revoked.
What will ISU be ranked?

The difference in Iowa and ISU is Luka Garza vs Javan Johnson. Yes, in a sport with massive, constant turnover, crazy transfers and freshmen ready to play the previous season is still weighing heavily 13 games in. That and the fact that playing the 250th and 350th teams make a huge difference make it a terrible system for much of the year. Yet people use it like gospel.Iowa is #22 #23? and ISU is #42?
Ken Pom doesn't seem to know what he is talking about.Or she. Kenny Pom or Kendra Pom? Sounds like Jerry Palm or Harry Palm or whatever.
Iowa is not 20 spots better than Iowa State. WTF is this ranking about anyway? Pacing? WTF?
I've come to learn that the majority of people out there are either lazy, arrogant, or stupid. Sometimes all three. Especially those in the media.
There should be another column of Kenpom that splits out P6 NC games and non-P6 NC games. Going true road should get double weight, neutral floor quarter weight compared to the Non P6 games baseline. Or something idk. KP doesn’t like us but NET and Torvik do so it’s a wash probably.
Eventually when the stink of last year wears off and we get into conference play KP probably likes ISU more. The other thing that should absolutely change is have diminishing or no difference in SoS beyond 200 or 250. For teams that are in the NCAA hunt playing a team that's 250 or 350 really shouldn't matter, but in KP it sure does. It's like the old complaints about trying to game the RPI by scheduling teams that aren't very good, but are still not the 300 type teams.
ESPN put us at 12 in their power rankings. I'm going to guess 12-13 when AP comes out shortly
DeCock had it #25 last week, so no change. Two others had it 25 last week, we'll see if those voters drop it. (next-lowest was 19). We'll find out shortly.
