The Bobcat College Basketball Rankings are based on games through 1/5/03

between Div-I teams only. Games between Div-I and lower division teams are

not considered.



They are based on W/L, Pts Scored/Allowed, and Home/Away. There is no

pre-season ranking factor involved. Because of that, the rankings are more

volatile early in the season than later. After the first of the year the

rankings will take a firmer shape.



This ranking is meant to analyse past performance, not to predict future

results. Retrodictive success rate this season = 81.7%.

"SOS" = Strength of Schedule; "Mrg" = Win/(loss) point margin.
