With conference play in full swing, we are starting to build a stronger data set on who the contenders are in college basketball.
It may not be an 100% success rate, but we can use college basketball's most popular advanced metrics site, KenPom, to help frame the National Championship race.
No, KenPom isn't used solely for this, but the site generates its unique rating system by weighing different factors to create its adjusted efficiency metric for all 348 Division I teams. Using both its adjusted offensive and defensive marks, we can get a good idea of who is strong on one side of the ball or the other.
