it's got 5 components. components listed in order of weight-
1- Team Value Index. Factors Opponent, Location, and winner
2- Offensive/Defensive Efficency. Note that these are not capped at all..... So like lets take this week- Providence over Siena by 19. Providence scored 1.26 points per poss. Siena scored 1.10 points per poss. +0.16. Marquette beats UMBC by 25. Marquette scored 1.00 points per poss. UMBC scored 0.63 points per poss. +0.37 for Marquette. Marquette would be ranked much higher than Providence with that.
3- Winning Percentage
4- Adjusted winning percentage (the 1.4 for away wins/1.0 for neutral wins, 0.6 for home wins)
5- Scoring margin- capped at 10

This is going to be really interesting.

Scoring margin is icky. What’s the difference between a 59-58 and 59-57 game? Twice as much, according to NET.

And how many 1-point games with a minute left finish as 10-point games due to free throws?

what is interesting is by the formula for the offense- if you get fouled on purpose and make the 2 free throw- for the offensive efficency- it's 2.105 points. More effective than just about everything but hitting a 3 pointer or getting an and one.
