A post was split to a new topic: 2019-20 KenPom rankings are out
Anyone ever play Season Long Pool? Came across it on Twitter last night and am intrigued. Any thoughts on strategy?

I saw this on twitter too. Looks really cool.
Looks interesting. I definitely think you look to take clear conference favorites in mid/low-major wild cards (e.g. Vermont) for 3 of your wild cards (hopefully my math is for teams is counting right) to get a lot of value out of conference wins and conference tournament wins and you assume that a lot these feel like for-gone conclusions for both regular season and conference tournaments. In essence you play for the conference seasons. Also have to look at value picks for top 2 or 3 in a conference. I think Ohio State is a better value than UNC for example as I think that their floor might be higher because of depth and conference.
It is tough to buy 11 teams for 100 bucks given the values. Started playing around with it a bit today.
Going to look into this.

Played Washington 70-1 to win it all. Also 17-1 on Florida. Plus one other play I’ll refuse to mention so I can still show my face in these parts

Creighton has a lot of other talented pieces but he’s a key loss for them because he’s the only real big that they have.

Yeah that front court is depleted
Surprised Washington was a 14 and the favorite on theirs to win the pac12. Judging by other points I thought they’d be 12 or 13.
It’s clear getting the winner is essential.
I just spent entirely too much time on that year long office pool. Almost got what I’m looking for though. Pain in the ass though going through all these mid major squads though.
ESPN (Lunardi) and CBS (Palm) both have Michigan as a 9-seed in their respective bracketology predictions.

Season long pool is due tonight by midnight right Dylan?
I think tomorrow night (not tonight). I threw an entry in there, see you at the top of the leaderboards @Slyboogie
Yea I just went back and looked. I read it wrong. It’s not easy. I’d love to see the values attached to the teams from last year. Would help me gauge some things.
