I started adding in components of last year's model now that we have a decent amount of current year data. It's still Kenpom motored by efficiency stats, but it adjusts for a lot of issues he doesn't: HFA differences, luck in player performance, the effects of team composition on predicted tempo, etc. Tracking starts today. Lines are typically taken at Bookmaker or The Greek.

UC Riverside -2.5
Syracuse o134.5
UC Riverside u116
USC u130.5

I will also be tracking expected win% for the year, benchmarked by Pinny close. I'm doing some unit sizing, but everything here will be 1u for ease of record keeping. I'll be using push frequencies (by spread/total range of course) from my database, smoothed with a regression.
