The opening weekend for college basketball is just two and a half weeks away. With the season soon tipping off, the preseason KenPom rankings were released Sunday. I incorporate advanced statistics from KenPom in my writing a lot during the season and cannot stress enough how useful Ken Pomeroy's site is. While the more traditional RPI rankings focus on strength of schedule and quality wins, KenPom accounts for more detailed factors like point differential and home court advantage. Also, KenPom utilizes advanced statistics to predict future results, while RPI rankings only account for actual results.
