Looks good for a 4th place Big 12 team.

[1/64th]

Ken has us losing to Texas.  Clearly he has no idea what he's talking about.

that also doesn't have the Duke game on there so you can add another L :(

We will beat Va Tech by double digits, Gonzaga game will be closer than 6. 72-70   

And we will cac on WSU's faces just like last season, even in their high school gymnasio

Kinda curious how he projected an entire season with basically zero information available at this point.

He really doesn't.

How can you question or argue with KEn Porn's Ratings and predictions.  They are not born from the human mind but a meld of Kenporn, facts, stats, computer programs and interwebbing.  Jeez, it's science people.  Plus I have heard that Kenporn is one of the 3 Precogs and predicts off of his visions, so he has that too.

I’ve made a few changes to the site, which I hope to be improvements. The most obvious thing is that I’m not starting with zeroes for every team this season. Each team has a pre-season guess for adjusted efficiencies and pace. Details on the system are in the book, which makes a great Thanksgiving present. The projections are pretty reasonable, except for those teams for which they’re not. But it’s better than starting at zero, right?

The most useful thing about having a rating at the start of the season is that allows me to project the outcome of every scheduled game for the entire season. This will prompt a minority of you to enter a euphoric state. A higher percentage of you will wonder why we even need to play the season. (I am not sure I have an answer to that. Frankly, I’m hoping for the day that a game is played on paper, just so I can be all in-your-face to the guy who always dismisses statistical analysis by saying the games aren’t played on paper.) The rest of you will send me an e-mail along the lines of “I can’t believe you think (team) is going to go (W-L record).” Bring it on.

Can't tell if serious.

But shilling for book <> explaining how preseason efficiencies are calculated/guessed.

I was serious, he really doesn't.
