How these ratings are built
BBMI basketball ratings are built on efficiency, shooting, rebounding, schedule strength, and home court. The power rating is the projected margin against an average D-I team on a neutral floor.
The schedule’s picks are the same outputs on the daily picks page — filtered to one team. Picks freeze before tip and grade against the final score.
