Some explanation from Pomeroy:
"I’ve updated the program ratings for another season with a new and improved formula. Past versions were a time-decay weighted average of adjusted net rating since the 1997 season with some influence from current conference strength and a dash of recruiting history. The new formula is similar, but the recruiting history now includes both transfers and freshmen (thanks, 247sports.com) and I’ve added a component of historic tournament performance.
There is only one way you should judge these ratings and that is based on which coaching job would the average human take if presented with two options. If you were the head coach at West Virginia (31st) and were offered the job Indiana (17th), would you take it? Most humans would. If you were the head coach at Maryland (19th) would you take the job at Villanova (11th)? Maybe not by secretly negotiating your exit while your old team is fighting for tournament glory. But nevertheless!
...
This season there were 23 people who were a D-I head coach last season and will be coaching a different team this season. Just three of them took jobs at lower-ranked programs.

[With respect to Florida St}
Will Wade would have been a great choice, but if Loucks wasn’t already the obvious pick, FSU brass might not have had the fortitude to try to outbid others and delay their hire. If I ran a search firm, I’d have given a holler to Tony Skinn, but with just two years of experience at George Mason, you could have understood the reluctance to consider him yet."
