AP Poll Dec 14

SU got 4 votes

4 points, not 4 votes.
Appeared on one ballot.

 
I think this is one of the 25 best teams in the country. This may be the squad that tests how good you can be possibly without any 1st or 2nd team all league players but four or so 3rd team all league players.
 
Maryland is a slight favorite at home vs. #19 Rutgers tonight.

That old adage of always taking the unranked home favorite against a ranked underdog.

Kenpom has Terps 70-69

Generally, Rutgers doesn’t win in the road and Maryland doesn’t lose at home. The line makes some sense though I was surprised at first
 
This is going to be a bigly big year for Clemson. Got a weird feeling they will be cutting the nets down in January...

So KP is still giving home teams the standard 3.5 point advantage? Seems that the advantage should be much less this year. Is that margin still proving to be the case this year?

Rutgers KP Margin is +20.4/100 possessions
Maryland KP Margin is +15.9 / 100 possessions

A difference of 4.5 and the teams average 70 possessions ... so on a neutral court Rutgers is about 3 points better. Which means he is giving Maryland the normal home advantage to make them a 1 point favourite.

Yes. RU was getting 3.8 points for the RAC last year and still is this year. Idk if it’s been the case though this season
