Pre-Season BPI Question

[mid major]

I'm trying to read into ESPN's Pre-Season BPI ranking without much success. We are placed #49 behind Dayton at #48. We are the 7th placed team from the BE. Any ideas as to how this is figured out and what is weighed in? For what it's worth UC comes in at #26.

I guess we're okay in three out of four factors but it still seems too low.

I read that article as well, and it does explain their rating system. I just don't agree with it. It's all virtually still just an opinion, or just opinions on 4 different things.


Those opinions are worth every penny you pay for them.
