Last Season (2025-26)
Air Force finished 2025-26 at 3-29, ranked #373 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 91.3 and adjusted defense of 118.7 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Air Force
Air Force's power rating of -8.0 is an adjusted efficiency margin: the points per 100 possessions the model expects them to outscore an average Division I team by, once you strip out schedule strength. It combines adjusted offensive efficiency, adjusted defensive efficiency, and pace into one number, so a rating of -8.0 means Air Force projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 6 points on a typical night.
