        The big problem seems to be that only 1 of the 5 components (not sure why there are 5 components instead o 1 cohesive rating) considers strength of schedule. So it rewards team with good records against very poor schedules. Probably won't get much better as the year goes along.pic.twitter.com/WTzqcaW6Qr

        This is incompetently designed. It's worse than RPI. Worse than the eye test. It could make a total shitshow of the NCAA tourney for a couple years and cost the NCAA millions by devaluing its most valuable franchise. It's why you never want to design an algorithm by committee.

        Knowing nothing about college sports, but seeing journalists talk about them online, 50/50 chance that this is a badly designed system or that you just don't like the results and went to a rival college.

        They do projections before the tournament.

        How is it worse than RPI? I'd prefer kenpom or some statistically viable strength of record measure, but 3/4 of RPI was literally the record of your opponents and their opponents.
