Talisman Red's Women's College Basketball Computer Ratings

Welcome to 2024-25!

I've redecorated again, to streamline things on my end. This year, I'll produce "my" rating system (including score predictions) for D-I, and produce the long- running Wilson system for all divisions. Small screen? The full menu is at the bottom.

For my D-II and D-III followers...

I've had many loyal followers from these divisions for the men's game, so I am now trying to recreate most of that same content for you. Let's do it. Click over on the menu under the Wilson section, or go directly to the D-II or D-III "everything pages." Thank you so much for your support!

Division I Top 25

Early in the season, ratings rely heavily on last year's results. For any hypothetical matchup, use the Points column to estimate a margin of victory. A description of the columns is below the top 25.

The columns you see above...

  • Rank, Team, W-L, and Rating: hopefully self-explanatory
  • Points: the column to use if you want to calculate a hypothetical margin of victory for any matchup. Just subtract. Adjust for home court if you need to, about 3 points
  • BCS: a ranking system that uses only margin of victory, with no consideration of score margin. The old-timers would call this a more "politically-correct" system, like the ones used in the Bowl Championship Series for many years (hence the title "BCS")
  • Top 50, 51-100, 100+: a team's won-loss record against teams in each of those ranking groups
