This system appears to favor effective field goal percentage more heavily than kenpom. Both systems use the same inputs but they disagree on Syracuse's offense. Pomeroy rates them 22nd even though Syracuse can't shoot because Syracuse gets offensive rebounds and doesn't turn the ball over. This system hammers them for their inability to shoot. Given that Syracuse hasn't looked like a top 25 offense in a month, I'm liking this new rating system.
