Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

The Falcons are right around where I thought they'd be here, even though my network's own guys are throwing around words like "ho-hum." We'll show them!

Jinx Alert!!!!!

Don Banks of cnnsi.com has officially declared an end to the back-to-back curse in his latest Power Rankings.

I’m quite alarmed by this as I am not used to handling prosperity as a Falcs fan.

That comment was so earnest

It made me laugh, for whatever reason. Hopefully you can get used to it.

Professor Frink must know...

How are these rankings determined? They appear to be almost in lockstep with each team’s W-L record (not that there’s anything wrong with that). The article implies that it’s produced by SB Nation bloggers, but that’s all. Unless my glaucoma’s acting up, I don’t see where they show their work.

This is the first week I've gotten off my duff and done it

Basically, we all rank every team in the league based and those rankings are averaged out.

Thanks

So it’s a composite, not an algorithm based on stats. Sorry to be an ignorant pest, but who makes up the pool of voters? That’s a pretty important factor too.

Pretty good credentials there

Helpful to know it’s a sober, erudite group of your peers, and not some ESPN poll where Aunt Gertrude can vote all she wants. Thanks, Dave.

I wouldn't go so far as to say sober....
