Was looking at kenpom this morning (we are currently 11th)

And that is with a negative 9.36 contribution of our noncon SOS which is 357th nationally. Obviously our record and overall success and actual strength would be exactly the same if we had replaced the 8 absolutely terrible opponents with teams in the 175 range. But those games are artificially deflating our metrics considerably in an era where strength and resume is largely defined by such metrics. So it’s understandable through that lens how we are being overlooked and undervalued, particularly in combination with our disaster season last year which should be irrelevant but influences perceptions
