shifter throughout the season. Now more than ever with the roster overhaul across the board, i think preseason expectations/data should be minimal if not removed even for "Power Ratings" that account for a teams talent/player rating. Because everyone is playing in a different lineup, scheme, surrounding players etc. season by season. The carry-over is almost non-existent. I think CBB as a whole has gotten a little too infatuated with the metrics as it pertains to evaluating teams or conferences. It's imperative to a degree, & sure it was groundbreaking 10-15 yrs ago & much better than just using RPI, but now the metrics are almost treated like the bible. Regarding KenPom, by late Feb or March his ratings are usually pretty spot on, but I'm with you I dont think he makes any effort to make adjustments or corrections throughout the season like Barttorvik or EvanMiya attempt to do. Which is odd because KenPom is actually metric on the NCAA Tourny Team Sheet, I even think a low-major conference used his rankings to determine their conf tourny seeding a few years back. I get he was the pioneer of all this, but sometimes I get the sense he feels no need to adapt or evolve his rankings & truly believes there's nothing wrong with his formula what so ever. Sorry that was a bit of a rant but I follow the metrics sites daily & can see the flaws you're alluding to.
