OK, don't know what happened to the last try, but here it is again (I hope)
OK! Internet sites don't seem to like anyone pasting from Excel, so I'll do this manually...Hope it works this way!
I've looked at KenPom.com....his site has lots of useful numbers...go check it out!
So all of the rating #'s are from his site.
I'm comparing Syracuse, Texas, UK, and KU...so if it gets somewhat garbled, remember, every first stat or team relates to Syracuse, while every 2nd byte relates to Texas, and so on:

So, if this looks remotely legible....
How would you rate these four teams (#1-4)?
Do any stats seem to make you think any of these teams is over-rated or under-rated?
My comments:
KU's schedule so far has been really, really weak (rated #301 out of 347)
But their upcoming 9 game schedule only has 1 team rated (By KenPom) lower than 100. They're going to
get challenged!
KU's weak schedule, no doubt helps their stats look better, but compare KU's and UK's stats...their SOS's aren't
that much different, but KU ranks consistently, MUCH higher than UK!
Syracuse has played some good teams, but their overall SOS of 256 indicates they've played some really bad ones too.
Their top 4 opponents are great, but the next toughest is rated only #194!
UK's toughest opponent in their first 18 gamses will be Florida, rated #28 by KenPom....
All four teams are still undefeated, and I think that says that they are all good teams, because each team has faced at least
one team rated in KenPom's top 60 (Texas has had the weakest top-end opponent so far, but that changes on Saturday)
Well, hopefully this looks fairly decent...
As always, let me know what you think!!!!
This is a Big 12 Blog...And It's our turn to rule!
