I see the cats beating Rutgers and Illinois and getting to a 25-30 Ken Pom ranking this week! Go cats! 15-4 and 4-2 in BT play may also get us top 25 in AP!
Especially since we do not even play ILThat would be virtually impossible. Presently 25th has an adjusted efficiency margin of +19.15 with a weight of 16 games (its a little bit more complicated but given just one incremental game the portion of the weight from the preseason is nominal)
Northwestern is 14.98 over 17.
So even if no one else did absolutely anything, in order to get to 19.15 from 14.98 in two games they'd have to win those games by and average of 55 points (assuming the games are SOS neutral -- which they effectively are with Illinois at 72 and Rutgers at 136)
Good luck.
