    Different mathematical formula.

    I pay attention to Jeff Sagarin, IMO Sagarin is the only sports mathematician that matters.

      Do the Sagarin rankings still exist for college basketball? They haven't been updated on his site.

          KP is just anticipating that Johnny will keep fading Houston so they should go deep in the Big Dance.

            His last rankings were UConn after 2023.
            Sagarin has not done NCAA hoops in 2024 yet, but still does everything else.

            I find this strange.

                      Right now, any one of the top eight teams can win the whole thing.

                      The team that'll win will have an injury free February, which nobody can predict, and which team gets the tournament soft magic carpet ride directly to the Final Four.

                      I can get UConn +1350 right now (offshore)

                          KenPom is garbage, that's why.

                              Kenpom's rankings used to be accurate 10 years ago. He now has a contract with Bet MGM so that's why it is now trash.

                                    Johnny has an autistic fixation with betting/fading certain teams.

                                    He's been fading Houston for two years now, just like he was only betting on Lakers/Warriors a couples years back.

                                        Johnny?

                                        The question that keeps me awake at night these days is "How the hell aren't the Fairfield Lady Stags not even getting one vote in this week's NCAA Women's poll?"

                                        And don't try to tell me the MAAC isn't a real conference either.

                                          You've never been profitable. Ever. Just think about that. You've been on this site since 2015, and if you pulled any random 10 game sample size from your portfolio, I guarantee you it reflects a net loss.

                                          That's assuming you bet money of course.

                                                      Nash I actually like the +17 here

                                                      UConn only won the matchup at home by 13

                                                      u agree ?

                                                          UCONN by 12 today, Georgetown may cover.
                                                          I'm passing on the UCONN game today, I'm just watching.

                                                          I did bet Wisconsin money line parlay today though.
