The College Basketball Power Index (BPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of performance going forward. BPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Strength of Record (SOR) is a measure of team accomplishment based on how difficult a team's W-L record is to achieve. Game predictions account for opponent strength, pace of play, site, travel distance, day's rest and altitude, and are used to simulate the season 10,000 times to produce season projections. Numbers update daily.

Glossary

W-L:Wins
BPI:Basketball Power Index measures a team's true strength going forward; expected point margin per 70 possessions vs an average opponent on a neutral court. BPI = BPI OFF + BPI DEF.
BPI RK:Rank in the Basketball Power Index (BPI) among all Division I teams.
TREND:Team's BPI rank change from seven days ago.
OFF:BPI Offense measures a team's offensive strength compared an average offense on a scale of points per 70 possessions.
DEF:BPI Defense measures a team's defensive strength compared an average defense on a scale of points per 70 possessions.
OVR W-L:Projected overall W-L, accounting for results to date and BPI-based projections for remaining scheduled games. It is the average W-L from the season simulations.
CONF W-L:Projected Conference W-L, accounting for results to date and BPI-based projections for remaining scheduled games. It is the average conference W-L from the season simulations.
WIN CONF%:Chance to at least share the best conference W-L record in a team's conference based on simulations. No tie-breaking is applied.
REM SOS RK:Remaining Strength of Schedule rank among all Division I teams based on how a typical top 25 team would do against each team's future schedule. SOS accounts for the game location, day's rest, travel distance, and high altitude in addition to opponent strength.
