Our NCAA basketball power ratings measure the relative performance of all NCAA basketball teams using 100% objective NCAA basketball performance stats and sophisticated computational algorithms.
Our proprietary NCAA basketball power ratings model iteratively analyzes information on every NCAA basketball game, including team performance, home/away status, margin of victory, and other factors. As each NCAA basketball season progresses, the NCAA basketball power ratings model builds a sophisticated, multi-layered web of knowledge: how each team has performed in various game scenarios, the strength of each team's opponents, the strength of each team's opponents' opponents, and so on.
The NCAA basketball power ratings model computes unbiased, quantitative ratings that assess both general (e.g. Overall NCAA basketball power ratings) and situational (e.g. Home/Away NCAA basketball power ratings) performance for every NCAA basketball team. The system is complex, unbiased, and dynamic; whenever a new NCAA basketball game result comes in, the power ratings of many teams will typically change as a result.
Like fine wine, NCAA basketball power ratings tend to improve with age. As more games are played, the potential impact of good luck on a team's results decreases, and the NCAA basketball power ratings model can make more "connections" between teams in conferences of varying strength.
