2026 Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings

The top of that MWC is something. How does Boise State lose to a D2 school team and still start off at 80 in striking distance of the bubble?

 

[needmorecowbell]

Oregon is 192 and Maryland is 200. Didn’t expect that.

the D2 game actually does not count for the net

 

[bac2therac]

Not surprised overall but a big surprised that the Big 10 is 3rd in the initial ranking behind the SEC and Big 12.

Central Connecticut State is 151 so just a Quad 3 loss for now.

RU sos is currently 289 all based on non conference but will get on overall significant bump the next week

Oregon is 192 and Maryland is 200. Didn’t expect that.

In Marylands case losing by 39 and 33 even if its to top 55 net schools is a killer plus the 5 point margin of Mt St Marys

in any case its pretty early and net will have more irregularities and wild swings than Ken Pom until we get to the end of December

Well that’s just ridiculous isn’t it?

Kenpom is off for different reasons in many cases. It’s still heavily based on preseason expectations right now.

Yes not a fan of plugging preseason numbers into the system..makes zero sense

I’m not suggesting there’s a better way, I just think with all the roster turnover midmajor projections are harder than ever before. At those lower levels, the way pieces fit into the schemes has a much bigger impact on season outcomes than the relative talent rating. The most talented kids from the prior year are all poached by the big dogs.

Rutgers down 4 to 190. Oregon who lost to USC at home remains the lowest rated Big 10 school at 195

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers moves up a spot to 189 but now has fallen to worst ranked Big 10 school

 

[BillyC80]

It will get a little worse before it gets better.

Hey, we're on the bubble to the bubble to the bubble to the bubble!

 

[goru7]

The NET obviously is not relevant for Rutgers this year but we are at 127 today. Still time with a breakthrough win to move up but never enough

 

[bac2therac]

that Kenpom rating which inflates the power conference teams early since it has preseason data in it is not really better...RU is the 2nd worst power 5 conference school in the country.

186…

 

[goru7]

186…

Sorry looking at Kenpom which is slightly more relevant tight now than the NET

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers slips to 190. Next up Michigan who sits at 1

 

[LeapinLou]

Wouldn't happen in a million years but it would be fun to beat Michigan just to see how much we'd go up and they'd go down.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers at 192. RU is the third lowest Power 5 school behind De Paul and Georgia Tech

next up #43 Seton Hall.

 

[ScarletJocko]

That is currently good for 3rd place in the NEC and 12th in the A10. We would be 2nd place in the patriot league though!

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers down to 194. Rutgers is the 2nd worst power 5 school only behind Georgia Tech. Central Connecticut State at 193

RU overall SOS at 140 while the non conference is rated 312.

Next up #41 Seton Hall.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Rutgers down to 194. Rutgers is the 2nd worst power 5 school only behind Georgia Tech. Central Connecticut State at 193

Great news! This means our loss to CCSU wasn't an upset!

 

[cRURah]

who thinks we rank 194 in player $$ (nil plus revenue share)?

 

[Lawboy]

We may be lower in both

 

[bac2therac]

Net soars up 7 spots to 187 based on Maine's first victory of the season in 12 tries. Rutgers is now ahead of 2 power 5 schools..Boston College and Georgia Tech

I'm surprised BC isn't a bigger spender in the NIL arms race. Like RU, both BC football and basketball are way behind their conference peers.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Rutgers doesn’t compete with 194 team ahead of them. They need to compete with the Big Ten schools. Right now they are dead last in the Big Ten for NIL. And it’s probably a wide margin.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers continues to churn forward now up to 184. Next up #39 Seton Hall.

We fare better in the NET when we don't play games, LOL. Maybe if we forfeit the rest of our games, we'll end up in the top 50!

Rutgers down to 197

Rutgers is the now the worst rated Power 5 school in the country

Unlikely to change the rest of the way

Unlikely to change the rest of the way

Georgia Tech at 196 says not so fast

 

[bac2therac]

And there it is...Rutgers falls to 198 and Georgia Tech tumbles to 202. Rutgers is no longer the official worst Power 5 school.

It gone be a seesaw horse race all year that will have many of us on the edge of our seats
