Gotta take it both ways.

Jim Larranaga is so money
Yes but if you are going to claim victory, when a team that you would not put in the Tourney makes the sweet 16 you've got to own that as well.
If there is a flaw in KenPom, beating 'ville by 20 or 30 shouldn't matter much. Miami mostly won it's games by 10 or less. The metric people can explain why blowing someone out by an extra 10 points should matter, but it does.

You should email him !
Nah bro. Every possession is a data point. If Vegas is basically willing to copy Kenpom for its lines there aren't such glaring holes in it.
Miami only had one 10+ point loss in conference play so it's not like margin of victory in their ACC games is why they are where they are. The real reason is they were bad early on and that significantly weighed down their ranking.
Same goes for St. Peter's who has been mostly excellent after their first 10 games. Teams do get better
I know I don't have the chops to debate him in metrics, but he can't have it both ways. I looked at Miami's schedule and I can't see why they should be in the 60's.
Since this is all math, in theory, he could probably breakdown his ratings by every game (i.e. at the end of the season you lost x points because of this game and up x points because of this game).
Peaking and momentum are absolutely factors in how teams perform in the NCAA tournament - performance in most recent games should be weighed more heavily in analytics. In the past the selection committee used to focus on the last 10 games of every team - I think they should return to that. Kentucky is a good example of that - they peaked in late January, faded in February, and collapsed in March.
Our Kenpom says we were a tourney team at the end of they year. We're currently #32 it's what Vegas relies on. The NET is ass and quadrants are dumb.Miami #62, says hi KenPom, routing #10 Auburn.
