Most overrated team last year: Louisiana 101 spots
Most underrated team last year: Southern Miss 41 spots
Average spots away from final rating: 33.6
Cumulative rise/drop as a conference: drop of 20.1 spots

Fairly impressive preseason vs. postseason results considering the roster churn.

Ken Pom clearly thinks the league is going to beat up on each other this season.
