Ken Pom is one the most trustful sites IMO and many others.
Who cares about your opinion? The NCAA didn’t use KenPom to select and seed in any meaningful way. That’s all that matters. Your opinion is irrelevant and you are intentionally cherry-picking metrics that fit your narrative.
The NCAA used the the NET, leaned on the RPI more than they will going forward since the NET was new and flawed, and looked at Q1/Q2 wins compared to bad losses. They also factored in missed games by Ponds and Heron which resulted in three losses that likely would have gone the other way (especially DePaul at home without Ponds).
The NET will not be kind to us this year after we stop playing one of the weakest schedules in the country for 10+ point wins. WV will not be a Q1 win for long since we played them at home.
And before some idiot comes in with a straw man argument about the weak schedule, I don’t have a problem playing patsies early. I’d prefer those patsies to be to be on the right side of the top 200, though.
