N = Net. The network. Teams in the same network are connected through games
R = Ranking, the overall position by MOV
MOV() = Margin Of Victory, the pure value transferred by the score difference. A more “predictive” ranking, will be best to predict future results.
WTA = Winner Takes All, a win is a win, a loss is a loss. A more “retrodictive” ranking, will be best to explain past results.
LOG = a ranking mixing WTA and MOV. Calculated with the ln(MOV).
SOSChed = Strength of Schedule, average MOV of opponents
eSOSChed = External Strength of Schedule, average MOV of opponents not from the team’s conference
Offense = Offensive strength
Defense = Defensive strength
