Ken Pomeroy and Dan Hanner both released preseason rankings for all (or almost all in the case of Hanner) 347 Division-I men's college basketball teams in the last couple of days.
Both are based on tempo-free efficiency data to varying degrees, and both provide endless (and often meaningless) fodder for bloggers like this one and this one and this one. But while Pomeroy's yearly rankings releases have become tradition, Hanner is the new guy on the scene. His rankings appear in the latest College Basketball Prospectus book, and employ a system that is quite a departure from Pomeroy's methodology.
Hanner better explains the methodology behind his rankings in this post, but what I'm interested in is how different (and maybe better) his system really is. Of course, we can't properly evaluate all of that until the end of the season, but we can still take a look at how incorporating the impact of transfers, historical data, freshman usefulness, coaching effects, strength of schedule, the effect of D-I transfers taking a year off and other makers can alter a team's ranking.
I put both sets of rankings into a big ol' spreadsheet, and did some analyzing. It's nice working with data, because it just doesn't lie. First the greatest differentials in the datasets. That is, the teams that the Pomeroy and Hanner rankings disagreed most on.

Hanner told me via tweet that transfer were the likely culprit behing his system liking Utah and USC so much.
@hlhoops @kenpomeroy Utah and USC are about JUCO and D1 transfers. Read why those player might lead P12 resurgence basketball.realgm.com/blog/223451

He had less for why his system seriously undervalued Vanderbilt compared to Pomeroy's rankings.
@hlhoops @kenpomeroy, But the Vanderbilt difference is much more fascinating. I'm starting a column on that topic.

I found that Vanderbilt is a pretty good anecdotal illustration of the differences in the ranking systems.
The fact that the Commodores return no starters and also lose 6-11 reserve Festus Ezeli probably has something to do with their varying treatment. Under Hanner's system, head coach Kevin Stallings' recruits and historical ability to work freshman and less utilized players into the starting rotation immediately is called into question.
After some poking around I found Vandy's 2008-2009 season as the closest recent comparison from the last 10 years that could compare with what Stallings is being forced to do this season: Make a solid group of freshman and a few good reserves into a starting five. That season the Commodores only had three returners back, and a great corps of five highly-touted freshman incoming. Pomeroy ranked them 338th in the nation in experience that year.
They turned out to be fairly average. The Commodores won 19 games that season, were bounced in the first round of the SEC tournament (by Alabama), and didn't participate in any postseason tournaments.
This time around Stallings has even less to work with, a consideration that Hanner's rankings must have picked up on and adjusted for.
Even so, Pomeroy and Hanner's rankings differ by 10 spots or less for 35.7 percent of all 345 teams covered by both lists, and the average differential for all teams between the two rankings was 25.5, so the above teams are certainly outliers. Further, Pomeroy and Hanner agreed exactly on the rankings of five teams: Akron (63rd), Alabama State (336th), Illinois (54th), Jacksonville State (175th) and Oral Roberts (145th).
As a means of maybe combining the strengths of both methodologies as well as the strengths of human bias, which Pomeroy concedes might have an edge over his numbers anyway. I averaged the rankings from Pomeroy, Hanner and the AP voters to come up with an amalgam ranking. Those numbers are below with differentials included.
Some interesting things to note:
– Hanner's score adjusts Indiana to a place that humans agree with.
– UCLA's transfers might make them even better than AP voters think.
– Texas and New Mexico could vye for the Top 25 rankings currently held by San Diego State and Florida State.
