Message: [QUOTE="lindros2, post: 3646313, member: 7928"] Sarcasm aside... like other rankings, the basketball POWER index is one of the computer generated methods to weight a team’s strength. It factors in some of prior year - if the team is mostly intact (which we are), margin of victory, schedule strength of opponents, and future schedule (which is strong in the ACC). Normally some kooky teams sneak in the top in the beginning of the year (preseason tournaments), but it all shakes out by mid-January. In normal years. From ESPN “College Basketball Power Index 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.” [/QUOTE]
