How does he account for strength of schedule?

Good for Ryan!  However, this glaring mistake does not lend credence to the author's knowledge:

If (Bradley transfer Brandon) Wood plays at the level Pudner's formula projects ... that could very well equate to a top-three finish (for Michigan State) in the Big Ten, which would exceed most pundits' expectations, including mine, and establish Value Add as a worthy way of identifying next year's sleepers. Brandon Wood has shown he could make the transition from Bradley to the Big Ten, starting for the Spartans and being one of the top 300 players in the country with a 2.7 Value Add. That has been good enough for the Spartans not only to be in the top 3 in the Big Ten, but actually in first place a week after winning by 10 at Ohio State.

It appears that the only other HL player in the top 100 is D'Aundray Brown at 62.

You're correct. Tim Kamczyc of Cleveland State was 123. Anton Grady of Cleveland State was 139. Ray McCallum Jr. of Detroit was 150.

Not sure if anyone else clicked the projected Bracket link on this site, but they have Valpo playing Baylor in the first round.

Again, does anyone know how strength of schedule is factored into this rankings?
