How this is measured

The projection is the existing projectMargin from lib/cbb/ratings: (AdjEM difference ± the fitted home advantage) × expected possessions ÷ 100, with pace the mean of the two adjusted tempos. It uses the latest snapshot, so it describes the two teams as rated on 2026-04-06 — it is not a line and it is not graded here.

Ranks are out of 364 rated teams, 1 = best; bold marks the better of the two where a metric has a better end.
