    Using Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings to Predict a Point Spread

    http://www.kenpom.com/

    How do you use the Pomeroy ratings to determine a predictive point spread for a game between 2 particular teams (including accounting for home court advantage) ??

    I'm relatively sure I have the mental capacity to understand the method used, but for the life of me, I can't find any "instructions" on his website on how to do this.

    If you go to Sagarin's website, the instructions are at the top of the page, and they are simple to understand, but I see nothing like that on kenpom.com. Am I missing something ?

    Thanks, uva ... that FanMatch link was staring me right in the face all this time ... I just assumed it was a fan forum or fan blogs or something similar, and never bothered clicking on the link.
