By game 7, KP is starting to become quite effective as most preseason stuff is now gone from the formula.  But not at its fullest effectiveness either.    Its fairly good information as of now.  Before game 4 or 5, it's very arbitrary.

If you are using KP to get hung up why a team is ranked #91 instead of #100, IMO you are not using KP effectively as of now, or really at any time.     KP tells us that teams #91 and #100 are highly comparable level teams -- about a difference of one point per game).  Even KP will never tell you that #91 is better than #100 - or that #4 is better than #6,. he will tell you those are very comparable level teams.     And based on overall results this year vs margin the Syracuse and LSU are quite comparable so I'm not sure why you are getting overly hung up i.e #91 vs #100.

I'm not looking at Syracuse vs team between #90-#110, and saying why are they ranked worse or better than those teams.   I look at the rankings and think those are comparable teams / peer teams based on how we have played to date.  There may be one or two teams that I question, but it gives a good general view of where we are (so far).

Same thing when I see one of our opponents at #250... a decent amount of context can be derived from that.  But I am also not going to look at it and say hey that #250 team that we beat, is better than that #238 team.
