The Dr. Edward Kambour NCAA Basketball Ratings

2014 Season Ratings

 
 


 

Below are the ratings for Division 1 College Basketball. The first column is the school name, followed by the estimated power rating. At the bottom of the table there is a general home-court advantage. To forecast the outcome of a game simply subtract the visiting team's rating from the sum of the home team's rating and the home-court advantage. The difference is approximately the forecasted point-spread. Thus, if the result is positive, the home team is predicted to win, while if the result is negative, the visiting team is predicted to win. The teams are ranked by their ratings.

Post Season Predicted results (and archived predictions) are available for games by date: 3/18/2012 3/19/2012 3/20/2012 3/21/2012 3/22/2012 3/23/2012 3/24/2012 3/25/2012 3/26/2012 3/27/2012 3/28/2012 3/29/2012 3/30/2012 3/31/2012 4/1/2012 4/2/2012 4/3/2012

Ratings include all games through 4/2/2014.




Notes: Special thanks to Ken Massey for capturing all the game results and posting them on the internet. Big raspberry to Ken Pomeroy for trying to charge for the data. The ratings are the result of a Dynamic Hierarchical Bayesian Linear Forecaster. The author has a Ph.D. in Statistics from Texas A&M. He specializes in Bayesian Forecasting. The forecasting method has been presented at four technical conferences, the 1997 and 1998 Conferences of Texas Statisticians, as an invited presentation at the 2001 Joint Statistical Meetings , and at a 2003 Houston INFORMS meeting. The powerpoint slides from the INFORMS talk are available here.
