The Kentucky Wildcats are getting a lot of love from several media outlets and Pro Football Focus has joined the group.
PFF has the Cats ranked #19 in the upcoming 2019 season.
Take a look at how they come up with their rankings:
The Elo algorithm updates a team’s rating dynamically through using the outcome of a game versus what was expected to happen in a game, assigning bigger bumps to teams that upset great teams than teams that narrowly beat teams for which they are big favorites. The PFF version uses PFF grades for every facet of play to derive what the score of a game should have been based on an ensemble of models that weigh positive and negative plays in said facets.
