MEN'S BASKETBALL POWER RATINGS
The ADJUSTED RECORD reflects the effect of the home court adjustment.
The SOS value represents the weighted schedule difficulty faced by each team in the games that it's played so far.  
The schedule difficulty of a given game takes into account the opponent's rating.
The POWER value represents the weighted margin of victory in the games played so far.
RATING is the weighted synthesis of Adjusted Record, SOS and Power.  Records, SOS, Power and Ratings are 
based entirely on games between the Division I teams in this listing.
