College Hoops Power Ratings

College hoops starts next week with two games on Monday, 4 each on Tuesday through Thursday, and 46 games next Friday night.

Here are my preseason college hoops power ratings. These are the power ratings on a neutral court. To compute a point spread, add 3-6 points for the home team (depending on the value of the home court for the particular team). I update these regularly. If anyone is interested in seeing these regularly (weekly), let me know.

This is all put together by you? You are amazing Coast. Can you adopt me as a nephew or something? We have to be related somehow.

Poor Radford.

College hoops is my bread and butter, Ryan. Has been for 25 years. It's my second job.

I don't start from scratch every year. I have my year-end ratings from last year and went through each team and adjusted their PR downward based on what they lost. I will update these continuously throughout the season. You can just check them at any time and they should be pretty current.

Thanks Coast, always appreciate the knowledge.

Missouri will be better this year. They had a young team last year and lost a lot of close games.

Coast, did you ever take a look at the forums on predictem.com that I told you about in another life? It is basically guys on a forum giving out info and thoughts for free. They have people who specialize on smaller conference plays in college hoops that are usually pretty good. It's worth a look.

Thanks for that, GD. I appreciate the reminder.

Yes they will be. But I don't think they have the talent to surpass the two Kansas schools in the Big 12 North. I have them 3rd in the North right now. Mike Anderson's frenzied style often leads to teams playing very, very sloppy in November and December. So I won't be surprised if they get off to a slow start, though they did start 9-0 last year before facing the reality of the Big 12. Anderson got the Mizzou job based on how his UAB teams played in March. I expect Mizzou to be on the cusp of an NCAA tourney bid. Typically, by my rating system, a 75 is a borderline NCAA at large kind of team. I have them rated right there now and they should be a few points higher by March.

The other thing is that not just are the returning guys a year older, but they are stronger this year because of transfer Demarre Carroll (Anderson's nephew), who averaged 12 ppg, 7 reb and led Vandy in steals two years ago. He gives Mizzou a very athletic wing to go with their guards and should fit great in Anderson's system.

I have a special place in my heart for the Tigers, Nas. I spent my freshman year in Columbia. I'll be rooting for them too.
