Men’s Basketball or Week 12’s Top 365

Welcome back to latest episode which is all about Division I Men’s Basketball. There are 365 teams in D1, one for every day of the year, and we will count them down (or up). Yesterday, Michigan (19-1/2) took down Nebraska (20-1/5), and even though previous top-spot holder Duke continued to win, they took a hit in strength of schedule (SOS) meaning the only major undefeated team is now in first place. Arizona (21-0/1), who beat BYU (17-3/8) Monday, shares the perfect mark with the MAC’s (not to be confused with the MAAC) Miami OH (21-0/57). Why the disparity? The AP has MIAO at 24th. The reality is that not only have the RedHawks not played an AP-ranked team all year, but they also played 3 non-D1 teams. Their SOS is a very low 351st or, looked at the other way, the 15th easiest schedule in the country. Sure, it’s hard to win every game and congratulations to them for staying focused, but to be ranked in the GCR’s Top 25, a team has to earn it. By contrast, Arizona has played the 35th most difficult schedule including 6 AP-ranked teams.

This week, we do have some games to watch. The paragraph we have been putting together is a little difficult to follow so we made a table (surprise, huh?)

We hope that is easier to read. Some of the games are Top 25 games some are just important to the specific conference and potential tourney seeding. We also hope it serves as a reminder that D1 basketball extends far beyond the ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, and SEC.

…..

That’s it for today. Tune in Friday for some additional analysis around college basketball. We have been putting some thoughts together but are very much open to what our readers would like us to dig into. Please provide suggestions or comments on Facebook (Gettys Computer Ranking) or our website (bit.ly/2019GCR) or LinkedIn (G Robert Gettys). As a reminder, in the table below, we have two prediction methods. Add 4.5 to the home team’s Score, compare, and the higher Score wins with the difference in the two numbers as a theoretical point differential. Likewise, for the RPIF. The GCR prediction is the range between the two final numbers. If one is negative, we cannot predict. With no further ado, we proudly present the Men’s Top 365 from Arizona to the only team with only 1 win, MS Valley, JoJo and G.
