Message: [QUOTE="M2MPrinciples, post: 5530256, member: 928"] KP treats his preseason rankings as a prediction of where it’ll shake out at the end of the season. Last year he was very accurate in pumping up Duke and Auburn (no preseason poll voter had Duke higher than 3 or Auburn higher than 5) while dogging Kansas and Indiana (no voter had Kansas lower than 5, and KP’s #7 was still too high; IU was KP #39 and only two voters didn’t rank IU). He did however overrate Nova (preseason KP #20, went 19-14 and fired Neptune) and Kentucky (preseason KP #43, made the S16). Of course, the AP poll is meant to be a snapshot in time and not predictive, so they are operating from different premises. [/QUOTE]
