2017 FanLax NCAA Team Power Rankings

2017 FanLax NCAA Team Power Rankings

There are several factors that decide whether an NCAA team should (or should not be) a FanLax NCAA team. One of these factors is the relevant NCAA team being a premier NCAA team. An NCAA team having a good year or years does not make them a premier team nor merit their becoming a FanLax NCAA team. The relevant NCAA team needs to be a perennial power for numerous years and needs to instill a level of confidence in FanLax that the team will remain a perennial power.

This is the chart we use to judge whether an NCAA team is a premier team. Since 2005, we've kept track of the National Ranking of the top 40 NCAA teams. Each year, we average the ranking of each of these NCAA teams with a multiplier of 1.0 for the current year, 0.9 for the previous year, 0.8 for 2 years preceding, 0.7 for three years preceding, etc. until we get to 10 years ago or older where for all of these years we use a 0.1 multiplier. With this system, in 2017, the FanLax NCAA Team Power Rankings were:
