Drake and Kenpom is hilarious...

They were 53 last year, not bad at all.

But because these ratings now try to account somewhat for what you're returning, losing and new players coming in, they understandably started out terrible losing the whole team without bringing in elite players and are down at 79 even after this great start.

A very rare case where an early season computer ranking would be better off ignoring the fact that they were good last year, lost everybody and brought in a bunch of D2 players. Should have just started them at 53 quality and watched it climb. Who could possibly know or guess?
Doesn't Kenpom start phasing that stuff out as the season goes along though? I seem to remember by the new calendar year he pretty much removes all of the prior season stuff and simply goes by the current season performance.

Yes. All the old stuff is gone after your 14th game of the current season.
