As I have said previously, Torvik's ratings are extremely volatile and don't do a good job with large scoring margins. We're exacly 5 spots ahead of UCF in all of the committee's metrics, but 7 points behind them in T-Rank.

UC
29 BPI
31 Kenpom
26 Sagarin
34 Torvik

UCF
34 BPI
36 Kenpom
31 Sagarin
27 Torvik
That's fair. I was just trying to show metric movement and I don't have premium Kenpom. Do you know how far UC and UCF moved over the past 3 games on kempom? Obviously it won't be as significant as you pointed out but I would be interested to see how it looked then vs now. I would suspect UCF closed the gap at least a little
