ESPN Preseason BPI


Recommended Posts

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/24199936/kansas-jayhawks-gonzaga-bulldogs-lead-espn-college-basketball-bpi-2018

For the unfamiliar, an explanation of how BPI operates can be found here, but the Cliffs Notes version is that it bases its preseason ratings on four factors:

· Quantity of experience on roster.

· Quality of that experience.

· Recruiting rankings for incoming freshmen, with an extra emphasis on five-stars.

· Coach's past performance.

We show up 29th. 

Other notables:

8 - Wisconsin

13 - MSU

19 - Iowa

21 - Illinois

26 - Northwestern

37 - Purdue

38 - Michigan

42 - Penn State

43 - Minnesota

46 - Nebraska

 

Pretty wacky.

Now seriously, how in the hell does Illinois come in at #21?  

Happened to find out they had some bad data. Their Illinois roster still hadn't updated so they still have Michael Finke on the team even though he's transferred out. So maybe they haven't heard about guys like Leron Black leaving as well? BPI has always been garbage IMO and this kind of stuff further cements it in my mind.

Makes sense.  And yes, the BPI is garbage......unless your Jay Bilas!
