While the AP Poll is a barometer of recent success, its pretty arbitrary. It takes a snapshot of recent form and some key wins, but I like to use websites like KenPom that hold predictive value in terms of projecting team success in the future.

As I do every week, I'm going to use KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency to provide a snapshot of who projects as National Championship contenders moving forward.
