Wagner...
Currently doesnt have their schedule or roster posted online. The HC has been suspended and some Ive talked to said he was fired. There's uncertainty theyll even have a season The reason I post this... KenPom has them 7th out of 10 in their conference

Any pre-season ranking should be required to show....
their pre-season rankings from last year and then show the actual results. But that would likely create some accountability....soooooo.....

Ken is pretty transparent about the the merits and weaknesses
of his system's preseason rankings. He's written about it a lot over the years. Here's his post from yesterday that goes in depth and includes exactly what you suggested: ** Edited by 313A at 10/14/2025, 10:19:16 AM

These are just placeholders until about 10 games played for all.
Any preseason poll like this that has Arizona 15, should be dismissed. They brought in a loaded class, so Kenpom clearly does not know ****. VT will be top 30 by the end of the season. I'm calling it now. And make the NCAA tournament.

It's hard to take ratings that are statistically calculated serious.....
when there have been no games played. The statistical sample size is litterary zero.

It would be hard to justify putting VT much higher than what they are at
just based on how bad they were last year. I know we got some good additions but it's all basically unknown. These predictive ratings aren't really worth anything until like January.
