but they are hugely overrated at 64th on Kenpom


KenPom is just data. There is no subjectivity to the ratings. So it's impossible to be overrated or underrated in those rankings.

I think LSU should be rated around 50th in Kenpom


Again. It's just data. LSU's ranking on there is what the data shows. It's not Ken Pomeroy sitting in his house deciding he, personally, doesn't think LSU is a good as you might think they are

Now, you can use that data to filter out teams who may be overrated or underrated in subjective rankings (i.e. top 25 polls). South Carolina might be one of those teams. It's why LSU was a larger underdog vs. Florida than South Carolina...despite South Carolina having a better record and higher ranking.

The algorithm has flaws which has resulted in overrating some and underrating others. I don’t think Kenpom weighs recent games more than early season games, or if it does, it is insufficient. This is particularly important as players get and lose eligibility, making the rosters different.
