Top Ten Adjusted Offense/Defense Efficiency

I've become a believer in Ken Pomeroy's Predictive Analysis for determining the outcome of college basketball games.  One of the most useful tools is his determination of the Adjusted Offensive and Defensive Efficiency of each team.  Man, don't you love all these statistics???  I know I sure do.  Anyway, basically, Pomeroy factors in the number of possessions to calculate the offensive and defensive efficiency for each team.  I'd encourage you to read the link I provided to help fully understand the calculation since I would probably muck up the details here.  So, taking these statistics into consideration, the teams that I believe that should be regarded very highly during the tournament due to their ranking in the top 10 in both Offensive and Defensive Efficiency are...

  • North Carolina
  • UCLA
  • Texas A&M

    The teams next in line would be...

  • Kansas
  • Ohio State
  • Florida
  • Wisconsin
