Ratings sites make no sense

[heyoh22]

I looked at Ken Pomeroy's ratings for Weber after Saturday's game. Pomeroy had predicted Weber to win by 1 point, so we beat the prediction.

Going into the game Weber had a kenpom rating of 124, playing UT-A who had a rating of 97. After the win, Weber has a rating of 127 and UTA is 95.....wait we win and go lower, and the opponent loses and goes higher?

I know this is only a couple spots, and that the results of your opponents play into the formulas, but just seems odd to me....

it looks like if UT-A wins out they will easily be a Top 100 win for us

Ratings mean next to nothing. There are a lot of really good teams out there that have some or all ratings on the lower end. Personally, I don't need a high rating to feel good about my team, my school, or my community. I've been with them through the highs, I've been with them through the lows, and I'll be with them until I die. Maybe even after. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
