Schule’s NCAAB Weekly Power Rankings Review – Week 6
Have you ever noticed that all the major polls look basically the same? Whether it’s USA Today, ESPN or the Associated Press, you won’t see any dramatic differences in where they have teams ranked.
When it comes to Power Rankings, professional handicapper Jesse Schule has proven to be ahead of the curve. His power rankings for college football and basketball have been published at Covers.com since 2012. During that time he’s been going against the grain, and more often than not he’s 2-3 steps ahead of the other guys.
Now that the college hoops season is in full swing, we’ve asked The Iceman to give us his weekly NCAAB Power Rankings Review. Jesse will review the teams that he believes are overrated, underrated, or flying under the radar.
Most Overrated Team
Xavier Musketeers (8-2 SU, 5-4 ATS)
The Musketeers don’t look like the team they were last year, when they won their first 12 games and finished second in the Big East with a record of 28-6. They are only averaging 75.6 points per game, ranking 142nd in the country in scoring. Losing on the road at Baylor by 15 points isn’t great, but I might have been able to write it off as a bad game if they didn’t follow it up with another loss to Colorado.
Senior guard Myles Davis led the team in assists last year, and he was one of four starters to score in double figures. He’s been sitting out due to a suspension, and they’ve really miss him. I think this team is ranked in the Top 25 not based on how it has played this season, but more due to past success.
Most Underrated Team
Wisconsin Badgers (9-2 SU, 5-2 ATS)
The Badgers return all five starters from last year’s team that went all the way to the Sweet 16. They are still one of the best defensive teams in the country, and they figure to be a lot better offensively this year. They’ve got a couple of losses already, but it’s tough to hold it against them when you consider that both Creighton and North Carolina are currently ranked in the Top 10. They won a big road game at Marquette on Saturday, and they scored a whopping 93 points, shooting 58.2 percent from the field in the victory.
I think the Badgers might just be the best team in the BIG10, and I expect them to climb into the Top 10 before season’s end.
Flying Under The Radar
Seton Hall Pirates (8-2 SU, 3-5-1 ATS)
The Pirates went into the Big East Tournament last year and ran the table, beating Creighton, Xavier and Villanova at Madison Square Garden. They’ve suffered a couple of tough losses already to unranked teams, but they upset the #16 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks in their last game. They won on the road at Iowa, and they beat California in Hawaii. Junior guard Khadeen Carrington leads the team in scoring, averaging over 20 points per game on 51.4 percent shooting.
The Pirates are a legitimate contender in one of the toughest conferences in the country, and they deserve a spot in the Top 25.

SERVICE BIO
WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years.

Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored.
Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 1-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.5 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to five percent of a player's bankroll.
Signature Plays:
AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway.
The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price.
GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk.
HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available
