Like penalizing teams that play at "altitude". A team like BYU will always be ranked lower here than on other ranking sites because of where they play their home games.

The nice thing about Basketball is they have a real playoff and a much more objective system when it comes to selection and seeding. NET/Kempom have been found to be much better.
If it was like football - BPI would dominate any conversation and the blue bloods would get all the benefit of the doubt.


The College Basketball Power Index (BPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of performance going forward. BPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Strength of Record (SOR) is a measure of team accomplishment based on how difficult a team's W-L record is to achieve. Game predictions account for opponent strength, pace of play, site, travel distance, day's rest and altitude, and are used to simulate the season 10,000 times to produce season projections. Numbers update daily.
