Guess we are not going to fire UW then?
And our whole team does not suck?

They all are going to transfer.

8-3.
#21 Kenpom
Ranked #18

Kenpom, as an overall rating, is almost as worthless as the "win probability" stat.

However, I will say that some of the metrics within Kenpom are interesting. Not sure they are credible, but they are interesting.

Wisconsin is ranked 17th and they are kind of terrible.
I am sure they will win 10 or 11 games in the annual BT shitfest, but they are torture to watch.

Purdue almost got beat by Davidson at home and shot 32% and 3/25 from 3. Fire Painter. I hear they all hate each other too.

I really like it. When you break down the team metrics you can really assess team strengths and weaknesses. Individual game probability is not perfect for sure, but over a period of time- it is pretty valid IMO.

"Win probability" has been exposed as virtually worthless in multiple recent NFL games.

KenPom is pretty damned good overall once a decent amount of season has played out. Torvik may be better.

Not sure if you are being intentionally obtuse, but I found a link that presents a similar view.

Of course, if you are determined to keep your current viewpoint, you'll pretend to have read that and then disagree with it.

The team-to-team ratings are interesting. However, later in the season, when someone breathlessly proclaims: "We're 296th nationally in giving up points on out-of-bounds plays, and WE NEED TO FIX IT!!!!" then it's time for a Major Dork Alert.

Later this week, when the major snowstorm hits, I might check out a few KenPomPom numbers to see where things stand.

Ever seen a number come up 3x in a row on a roulette wheel? It happens.

Not very often. There are 38 numbers on the standard roulette wheel, so the probability is (1/38)^3, or 0.00001822.

If you read the link I provided, there are NBA teams given a 90-plus percent "win probability" with a double-digit lead halfway through the 3rd quarter. That makes no sense.

I cited the example of Ravens-Bears last year. The Ravens literally had the ball inside the 25, needing a TD to take the lead, and yet the Bears' "win probability" was still at a ridiculous number.

Garbage stat cited by a garbage network.

Lighten up Frances.
I said I liked it.
You became triggered over it.
Sounds like someone has had a few bad weekends betting NFL football.

You said it was valid, which it hasn't been of late.

I assume you didn't read the link.
