Found this article that discusses tempo

KenPom 101: What the college basketball metric system is and how it ranks Michigan

 

I got an update from Team Rankings this am, these are season projections they do weekly.

23-7 overall 12-6 SEC record
92% to make tournament (4 seed)
14% chance of winning SEC
#18 team in country #4 SEC team

Next game 98% chance of winning against Troy

 

The tempo is slow because our opponents are forced to use most of the shot clock.

 

The ratings of the teams ranked between 10 and 25 are so close right now, it doesn’t take much to make a large rankings jump up or down. Probably won’t be the last movement we make before conference games start.

 

That's the only explanation that makes sense.

 

Moving up!

 

I guess after this week and weekend, with lots of marquee matchups, KenPom will start to be a bit more accurate with meaningful inputs.

 

Is that like a time of possession in football stat? Lol... okay then.

 

Yeah, computer rankings are abject silliness early in the season. Realtime RPI had us about 40 spots behind FSU as of this morning.

 

RPI has always been silly.

Also silliness with Sagarin where we are WAY behind FSU. But Sagarin is in the Bayesian stage where they use preseason guesses before the teams are "connected" where it is all about what happened this year.
