Dropping out of the Top 50 were BYU, Saint Louis, and Indiana. They were replaced by St. John's, Dayton, and Hawaii. Weighting from last year's final rankings has been completely removed. I left a very small weight component for recruiting, but these ranking are almost entirely based off of this year's performance for each team, and weighing that off of the overall strength of schedule. Weekly Maryland update:  the home loss to BU was brutal, dropping them to 107th. Terps need a few key ACC wins to move up.
