Seems like I saw somewhere that last years schedule played into the BPI ? If so, I could see why someone thought we had work to do. 😆Our BPI ranking is #36.
BPI stands for Basketball Power Index, a statistical measurement of how strong a college basketball team is. It's used to predict how well a team will perform.
How is BPI calculated?
What does BPI include?
- BPI is calculated by subtracting the team's defense rating (BPI Defense) from its offense rating (BPI Offense)
- The difference between the team's rating and the average rating is used to determine the team's BPI
- BPI includes factors like:
- Winning percentage
- Strength of schedule
- Margin of victory
- Diminishing returns to blowouts
