One of my favorite things in the basketball world is the Massey Composite. Kenneth Massey has compiled a continuously updated list of 36 computer ranking models that rank the college basketball realm from 1-351. We're obviously big fans of Ken Pomeroy's tempo-free approach here at Banners, but there is plenty of room for other forms of wisdom in the area of analytics.

I usually pick my favorite by whichever one has Xavier ranked the highest.

I clicked through today (though today will be yesterday by the time you read this) to see which form of analysis I was going to be espousing for the immediate future when I found out - much to my delight - that Xavier was ranked #1 in 9 of the rankings systems, a full quarter of the rankings represented.
