*Essentially, the expected margin of victory over an average D1 team if the game had 100 possessions: https://kenpom.com/blog/ratings-methodology-update/
Interestingly, T-Rank doesn't have such a large gap between Duke and #2, also Virginia. It's essentially the same difference as between Virginia and #4 MSU. Sagarin isn't updated yet, but even before yesterday's game it showed a similar gap as shown by Pomeroy.
