2013-14 Statistical College Basketball Rankings, Vol. XIII

For this week's ratings, I made a significant overhaul with how I compute the raw metric. I did this because I felt that there was enough error after last week's ratings, that I could only agree with 75-80% of my Top 50. I didn't feel that was good enough so I made a change. I'm not sure how I feel about this modification yet, but I think it's a step in the right direction. Arizona's second loss of the season drops them to #2, allowing for Florida to return to #1 in my rankings. Here is my latest Top 50 through games played on Tuesday, 2/18:

Maryland Update: Not much change from last week, as the Terps (15-12, 7-7) drop 1 spot from 64th to 65th. Their next game is home against Syracuse, which may now be winnable since they just lost a home game to BC (note: since that game was played on Wednesday, 2/19; it is not included in these ratings). I think Maryland has to win this game to even be in the conversation of a bubble team.

Maryland Update: With a home win against Florida State (previously 48th), the Terps have moved to their highest point in my ratings, currently at 64th. A respectable 8-point road loss to Virginia gives further belief that this team may be turning the corner. However, in order to climb into the Top 50, they will likely have to win one of their three big games left (2/15 at Duke, 2/24 vs. Syracuse, or 3/9 vs. Virginia).
