2025-26 Overall College Basketball Power Ratings



Last updated:  Tuesday, April 7, 2026 - final ratings


I will be updating this page each Monday & Saturday during the season.
These ratings are based on several factors, including win-loss record, schedule
strength, and margin of victory in games.  The most recent games are counted 
with slightly more emphasis than those played earlier in the season.  The
records shown and strength of schedule rankings include DIVISION 1 OPPONENTS 
ONLY.  Games played against non-Division 1 opponents and forfeits do not count at 
all in the ratings.  To determine the approximate point spread between any two teams, 
simply compare the power ratings of the two teams and add 4 points to the home team. 


PD = point differential = points for minus points against
SS = strength of schedule ranking (1 is strongest and 365 is weakest)

  * = ineligible for conference tournament
 ** = ineligible for NCAA-sponsored postseason play
*** = ineligible for conference tournament and NCAA-sponsored postseason play
