2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Florida International at #169 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -0.1 points per 100 possessions. The model sees improvement from last season's #187 finish. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
Only 16% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.
Last Season (2025-26)
Florida International finished 2025-26 at 12-17, ranked #187 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 106.4 and adjusted defense of 110.1 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Florida International
Florida International's power rating of -0.1 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 -0.1 means Florida International projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 0 points on a typical night.
