Sports Illustrated preseason 1-351 basketball rankings - salukiblue - 10-31-2017 09:26 AM

Their methodology:
Sports Illustrated’s 2017-18 college basketball projections are a collaboration between economist Dan Hanner, SI’s Chris Johnson and SI’s Jeremy Fuchs. The system uses college and AAU statistics, recruiting rankings and coaching data to project every Division I player and team. For a deeper look at how the system works, read this explainer. In the next installment of our preview, we’re revealing how our model stacks up every Division I team at the outset of the season according to projected margin of victory, which we calculated by combining each team’s predicted offensive and defensive output. SI’s 1–351 ranking has been more accurate than similar 1–351 rankings produced by ESPN, CBS Sports and noted analyst Ken Pomeroy for three consecutive years.
Our offensive efficiency ratings are based on the projected individual statistics for all 351 teams. You can check these out in our previews for the nation’s top nine conferences (American, ACC, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Mountain West, Pac-12 and SEC). While defense is far more difficult to project than offense, blocks, steals, height (particularly in the frontcourt), athleticism, the number of elite recruits in the lineup and coaching history all have some predictive power.

Memphis is at #156, which should probably be included in your notables...

But it's not smack. Simply look at the descriptions below. It is a preseason prediction which includes all teams.
Dockery-Finch Memorial Tiger Sports Forum: Rated PG. Discuss everything related to the Memphis Tigers and general University of Memphis information.
"Big Dave" Memorial Smack Forum: Rated NC-17. Some very bad stuff could be going on in here. Can't handle it? Stay out! Smackers/Flamers... take your BEST shot, but beware... some here can give as good as they can get.
I'll go through and list the ratings of all the teams on the schedule so it can be a handy-dandy resource.

Thank you for the update.

Oh, it's not smack now, but I can see this getting derailed quickly and decomposing into a name-calling back and forth pretty early.
I don't like where we are ranked now either, but it is going to take time to climb out of the crater that we were in.

At least we have low expectations this year.
RE: Sports Illustrated preseason 1-351 basketball rankings - holyterror - 10-31-2017 09:53 AM
I'd like to think there's nowhere to go but up...
We'll see. Too many unknowns at this point.

I think we'll beat that.

Doesn't account for home court advantage, though.

Thank goodness we are still ahead of ECU, USF and Tulane.

On a side note, UCF lost one of their guards for the season yesterday (Johnny Dawkins' kid) so that is really going to impact their depth--they were already a pretty thin team (depth wise) before that.

Too bad for them. Dawkins kid could play, IIRC.
We've got "only" 2 teams on the schedule in the 300's, so I guess there's that.
