KenPom Preseason Rankings

[PantherAlum09]

Since someone posted the CBS rankings, I thought I would post these. Ken Pomeroy is pretty highly respected for his analytical approach to ranking teams.

Pre-season KenPom rankings for the Valley:
99. Loyola
113. UNI
139. Bradley
150. Drake
158. Indiana State
166. Missouri State
174. Evansville
212. Valparaiso
220. SIU
226. Illinois State

I can't wait for November 5th, and this might be the highest expectations have been for this team in a few years. Hopefully the Valley's rankings as a whole climb on this list.

I prefer using Barttorvik's preseason rating instead (plus his website is free).

71	Northern Iowa
88	Loyola Chicago
104	Bradley
106	Missouri St.
135	Indiana St.
172	Drake
188	Valparaiso
193	Evansville
233	Illinois St.
244	Southern Illinois

KenPom is great. His numbers will get much better into the season. He tries, in the preseason, to use the player metrics for individual players to predict the coming season. So he doesn't account for Phyfe, who was unproductive last season. And he doesn't account well for incoming freshmen. My KenPom subscription just ran out - I'll have to renew...

These numbers obviously back up Muller’s vote - putting the Redbirds #1 in preseason ranking.

Barttorvik is the same was. Doesn't include Phyfe.

I used to subscribe to Kenpom and really enjoyed it but never felt the need to renew because Barttorvik is free and includes probably more information/functionality to Kenpom.
