I know it means nothing at this point, but I'm surprised we are so high. Looks like we're in for another banner year!

Mooney could craft a mean quilt out of all his Kenpom banners.

Kenpom also predicts we are in a 3-way tie for 4th with Davidson and St. Bonaventure. Let's get that double bye.

Any prediction that eschews the subjectivity of the eye test for cold hard numbers will think we are going to be pretty good next year. We are returning a very good offense (in terms of statistics/efficiency), and our defense has historically been good and should be better than last years. All of the computer preseason predictions I have seen have us at 4th or 5th in the A10, there seems to be a consensus.

Most of the computer systems only include recruiting impact if they are top 25 or so recruits. Kenpom specifically is not taking into account our incoming recruits since, according to him, "all but 5-star recruits are virtually ignored" in his preseason prediction.

Good to know! Then we likely should have been ranked higher. OSC
