9. Only team more overrated than Kentucky is St. Bonaventure. They are ranked 36th in AP Poll and 65th in the DPPI
10. Kansas back on top (barely) in Big 12 projection. Kansas projected to win 14.1 games to Baylors 14.0. KU with 40% probability to win outright to Baylors 38% and 57% probability to win win a tie to Baylor's 55%. More or less a dead heat.
11. Big 12 extends it's lead as top rated conference.
12. 7 teams remain undefeated. Who will be the last remaining undefeated team. 26 teams have 1 loss or less.

19. Home court advantage up to 2.3 (or 4.6 depending on how you define it)
20. ACC still the lowest rated conference. Just for kicks I programmed the DPPI to run a round robin between the Big 12 and the ACC. The result was the Big 12 won 102 games and the ACC won 48. That is dominance.

great info corpus! whats kentuckys projected record? will our game with them in jan be for the lifetime wins lead?

Big g, I ran Kentucky’s schedule a few days ago and if I recall correctly, they were projected to go 18-13. There is a very decent chance that our game against them could be the game that puts us in the lead. We have really nice odds of finishing this season as the winningest program in the country.

Ditto to Big G's sentiments. Really is good stuff, Corpus. And appreciating the rate/pace of the the updates as well.

I forget if you're retired...and I only bring it up b/c if you're not, I don't know how you find the time. And if you are, of course it's still very impressive b/c I can only begin to imagine how much work goes into retrieving the data, running the numbers, making the graphs & charts, and then typing out the posts/messages themselves. Just typing that sentence made me a little tired

Bottom line, thank you for all of your continued hard work in keeping us KU fans in the know - with some serious in-depth quantitative analysis...while adding your own thoughtful opinions as well!
