Shown here are computer ratings and rankings of NCAA basketball teams -- Divisions I, II, and III -- using the algorithm developed by David Wilson (UW-Milwaukee '65, '66; UW-Madison '67). This will be the 22nd year I have produced his ratings for college basketball.
The Wilson formula is designed to rate teams based only on past performance. It is not designed to predict future results.
Links to data for all divisions are in the menu at the left. Direct downloads of all text files are listed on the Explanation page. Help yourself!
