Each team has a probability of winning the championship in their division based on the power ratings. The games unplayed are assigned a score based on a random number and the difference in the two teams power rating. Multiple simulations for a season are recalculated and the net result is the championship probability.

Power ratings, unlike RPI ratings are not based on Wins and Losses but rather the goal margin of victory versus opponents. The difference between two opponents power ratings is the predicted goal difference if two teams played each other on a neutral site.

RPI is a measuring parameter used by the NCAA to determine college tournament invitations. It is based on won-loss records and not the score or goal margins of victory. We provide these values for not only colleges but, as a courtesy to our fans, high school as well. We do not recommend using the RPI method to evaluate strength of teams because it ignores the most critical piece of data and that is the game score. As an example: if two teams play identical records and the first team overwhelms its opponents whereas the second team barely defeats it opponents, the RPI calculations has both teams of equal strength. The power ratings, on the otherhand, has the first team of much higher strength than the second based on the goal margin of victories.

SOS is a measure of how difficult a team’s schedule is. There are two ways of computing the strength of opponent and the first is based on the opponent’s power ranking and the second is based on the RPI ranking.

QWF is a measure of wins and losses based on the opponent’s strength. A victory counts more against a higher ranked opponent than a lower ranked opponent and a loss against a higher ranked opponent counts less than a loss against a lower ranked opponent. There are two ways of computing the strength of an opponent, the first is based on the opponent's power ranking and the second is based on the opponent's RPI ranking.

A list of all games played by a team with the score and other attributes such as average goals (offensively, defensively) and performance versus top teams is listed. Formost is over-achieved or under-achieved performance for each gamei played.

Each game is examined to determine if a team over- performed (+.++.+++) or under-performed (-,--,---) based on the power ratings of the two teams and home-field advantage.

The NCAA evaluates teams for selection to the NCAA Championship Tournament based on RPI, SOS and QWF. We present these parameters and employing a formula that weighs them equally, we predict the at-large order of selection for men and women varsity divisions. This applies primarily to college although the relevance to high school is not significant since state committees generally do not consider these factors.
