I will never get it; I think they are good, but I guess they have just killed some (bad) teams this year.
It really doesn't have anything to do with actual win-loss record, it is based on expected wins based on the points scored and points allowed per possession. The expected wins would be against a generic schedule not an actual one though.
I've never really understood the fascination with theKenPom system. Its always seemed like a stat geek's best friend, but for everyone else, just a bunch of gobbley-goop!
Has anyone ever looked at his rankings at the end of each season, to see if he is ever close?

KenPom rankings are always awful until the year is over.
The reason is because it takes into account expected win loss. (Someone explained this to me). Basically, because our points per possession for us and for our opponent our so close (there's not much of a difference) it creates the appearance of a lot of luck in our games, which hurts the ranking because it makes it look like we've played above our record (Basically, being undefeated makes it harder to be ranked higher)
Wisconsin is STILL #2 in Pomeroy's rankings. Is quantity of cheese production a factor in his formula?
