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.
