Going to be posting the first power rankings in a few minutes!

Please read this post that will hopefully help it make more sense (and if not, stick with it anyway)

REMINDERS

1. Like all computer rankings, it’s 
a tool. The computer doesn’t know who was injured, who was having a bad night shooting or any intangible factors. It knows only the results of the game. Computer rankings should be taken as a tool, the same as media or coaches polls.

2. It is still early, the rankings will change, and the computer does not like or hate your favorite team. Everyone will have a chance to prove themselves and move up. Strength of Schedule plays a huge part in the rankings right now.

3, The computer is not focused on wins/losses, the computer is focused on the margin of victory/loss.

4. Head-to-head results are equal to any other game. At some point, there will be teams ranked behind teams they have beat.

CHANGES

1. Instead of Rank+, the rankings will now be posted with the team’s A.P.A.A. (way less confusing right? haha)

What this stands for is Average Points Above Average. So the number is how much better they have done per game compared to what the average team in their class would have done with the same schedule.

So if a team’s A.P.A.A. is 20.0, that means that on average they have performed 20 points per game better than the average team would have.

FINAL THOUGHTS

That’s all there is to share right now. All that is asked is to keep it respectful in the comment section. At the end of the day, where your team is ranked makes no difference to where they end up.
