The ratings are adjusted for schedule.
Mizzou is the 13th most efficient offense and the 43rd most efficient defense.
That’s why their rating is #23, not because of schedule.
1 Auburn is #1 and #13 in ORtg and DRtg
2 Duke is 5 and 3
3 Houston is 8 and 2
The NetRtg of Kenpom is the difference between the ORtg and DRtg. The higher your ORtg and lower your DRtg, the better your Kenpom ranking.
SOS is irrelevant in Kenpom, Torvik and other “adjusted” rating systems.
NET is apparently some weird conglomeration of adjusted and SOS that is just a black box to the public. No idea how it’s determined.
