Theoretically, the rating should be an indicator of the success we should expect each program to have over some sort of extended period in the future (like many years). But it may be more useful as trying to capture the perception of a program. Consider it a guide to how coaches and players might consider the currently hierarchy of college basketball when entertaining job or scholarship offers.

This will be updated on an annual basis and should be considered a work in progress. I will make note of any methodology updates as they happen..

This is a bit misleading for us because we put these numbers up against vastly inferior leagues even to the current MVC while the MVC teams (except Loyola) have put these numbers up against an MVC led by Creighton and Wichita State (And obviously Loyola was also able to play against the Shockers unlike us).

I suspect that Ken Pomeroy has made adjustments for this.
