The college basketball power index (BPI) is a measure of team strength that is considered the best predictor of future performance. BPI shows how many points above or below average a team is. Strength of Record (SOR) is a measure of team achievement based on how difficult it is to achieve a team’s WL record. Game predictions take into account opponent strength, pace of play, site, distance traveled, day’s rest and altitude, and are used to simulate the season 10,000 times to produce season projections. The numbers are updated daily.
