How LangIndex Rates Florida
Florida's power rating of +21.7 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 +21.7 means Florida projects to beat a neutral-court average team by about 15 points on a typical night.
