OHIO’s average from these 44 ranking systems was 48 out of 345 schools.
This 2011-12 compilation and averaging was done by Kenneth Massey, “College Basketball Ranking System”. Massey’s two systems, incidentally, had us at 49 and 32.
I never of heard of many of these ranking systems frankly, including the one that ranked OHIO highest, DeSimone at 18th. USA Coaches Poll was next highest at 25. Our lowest rankings were from Seven OT and Reid, both at 76. Of the more well known systems, Dunkel and Sagarin both had us at 55, and RPI had us at 42. Some amazing differences among some of these systems and it would be interesting to examine the criteria they used to arrive at these rankings.
