KenPom 2019 rankings

Probably close to accurate. I would probably put Tennessee somewhere around 8 or 9, but not sure how much of that is my own homerism, which I generally am able to keep in check. So, top 5 always seemed high to me, but 11 seems a little low (not sure there are 10 teams better than us right now), but not unreasonable.

2019 Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings


Tennessee checks in at #11, last here he was much higher on Tennessee than most and obviously turned out correct. I think he’s probably pretty close again and is some good unbiased info that maybe all the Top 5 talk show slow a bit.

So we play 4 bad teams. About like last year, so I expect a nice SOS again.

I count 15 games against Top 50 and 16 outside Top 50...assuming you sweep the 16 (not a given), splitting the 15 would put you at 23-8/24-7.

On a game-by-game basis, his rating has us favored in all except Gonzaga (45% chance of winning), @Florida (43%), @kentucky (30%), and @Auburn (41%). The overall record is foretasted at 22-8 and 12-6 in the SEC

We play 31 games though, so I am assuming he isn’t forecasting the unknown game vs Kansas or Marquette, which puts us at 23-8 or 22-9. My prediction was 23-8 with losses to Kansas, Gonzaga, @Mizzou, @Florida, @Vandy, @kentucky, @lsu, @Auburn.

With Porter’s injury, I think that game @Mizzou is much more winnable, now. So I may bump my prediction to 24-7, or hold at 23-8 and replace the Mizzou loss with a loss to WVU at home, or possibly leave room for a head-scratcher where we just come out flat and run into a hot team like Bama.

Hard to make it through a year without losing 1 or 2 you “shouldn’t”...only had 1 of those last year and it was at Georgia, have to think we have at least 2-3 this year.

True, but we could just as easily win against Gonzaga, @Vandy, or @Florida too. I think it tends to even out over the course of a season.

Seems like my predictions line up really close with these projected records.

A 2 loss season? Shut the front door

I have forecast the regular season record at 30 - 1, but I'm very optimistic about this season.

Not counting the Lenoir-Rhyne game and Kansas/Marquette winner. Assuming we split that, and we go 25-6, I'll sign up for that right now. I currently have us at 23-8, though admittedly, that assumed a loss to Gonzaga that just became a lot more winnable.

What kind of fan are you, assuming a loss?!!? lol
