In response to bradley

Kenpom's numbers are based on scoring margin adjusted for the strength of opponent and the location of the game. The reason being that scoring margin tends to be more predictive of a team's actual strength than just W-L.

Losing by 51 to Duke, and barely pulling out close wins over teams ranked around 300 (Monmouth and Lafayette) are the types of things that will sink your rating even if you have a good record overall.
