The Reports
and rpiratings.com continue to add new content
CBN is a leader in providing our subscribers innovative team statistics
and data for all Division I teams. We will continue to do so in the future
to bring our subscribers the best information available for each and every men's
and women's Division I team in the country.
Last year CBN introduced opponents' won-lost records
and percentage. This nicely compliments two existing schedule strength
measurements, RPI-based schedule strength and opponents' average RPI. The
following example shows the top 10 teams' W-L record, RPI schedule strength,
average opponents' RPI rank, opponents' W-L record and rank, sorted by RPI
schedule strength. The information given by opponents' W-L record, winning
percentage, and winning percentage rank is apparent.

Two seasons ago we added an interesting, informative, and simple piece of data in
the Reports and online called Conference Road
Advantage. Conference Road Advantage is simply the difference between a
team's road wins and home losses in conference games only. For example, if a
team was 7-2 at home and 4-5 on the road in conference play, its Conference Road
Advantage is 2. Conference Road Advantage gives a quick combination summary of
how a team is protecting its home court and how it does in hostile conference
arenas.
Three seasons ago CBN included several related items for both our men's and women's subscribers in our daily updates
and The RPI Report and The Women's RPI
Report. They were the Current Streak, Best
Non-Conference Streak, Best Conference Streak, and Best and Worst Overall
Streaks, for each of the teams in the RPI. For example, if a team has lost its last 5 games in a row, this will be denoted by L5 on the
far right column of the daily updates and in the Reports. If a
team
has won its last 8 games in a row, it will be indicated by W8. Current Streak
shows how a team has fared in its most recent game or games and is invaluable for a snapshot of
a team's recent performance.
Four seasons ago CBN made available three new categories of data: Home
Scoring Stats, Road Scoring Stats, and Neutral Scoring Stats. These
alphabetical-by-team lists include: the teams' home, road, or neutral won-loss
records; the teams' home, road, or neutral offensive, defensive, and scoring
margin averages; and the teams' home, road, or neutral winning and losing
margins.
Don't forget that our women's subscribers have access to The
Jeff Sagarin/CBN Women's Ratings on a daily basis, which are currently free for a
limited time, for the 2007-08 basketball season. Click on our
Subscriber Services link found above for subscription information to The RPI Report and
The Women's RPI Report.
