Now that you’re familiar with the blue-chip ratio, let’s take a look at which teams make the cut for this season’s National Championship. To calculate this season’s blue-chip ratio I used 247’s Team Roster database (here is Villanova’s, for example) because it had easy access to the prospect ratings.
I then went ahead and expanded this dataset to include KenPom rank plus AdjO/AdjD. The most talented team doesn’t always win, or play well. I think including who’s both talented and who is playing well deserves some consideration.
The baseline for this study was being in the AP Top 25 (or receiving votes) this week.
