2023 Seeding Prediction Comparisons

NET vs. KenPom vs. Sagarin

When I look at where the committee might be heading I look at all these factors. Then for fun, I put in my own calculation that shows a more raw look at a team’s efficiency, their Adjust Total Efficiency Differential. Yeah, one number that just tells me how they compare offensive vs. defensive efficiency. A few surprises in those numbers.

Just more March Madness!
