2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Fordham at #226 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.1 points per 100 possessions. That's a steep projected drop from #157 last season, driven by roster turnover. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
With 75% of last season's minutes returning, this is one of the more continuous rosters in the country, and that tends to be a real edge in November and December. The program adds 2 incoming recruits to the mix.
Last Season (2025-26)
Fordham finished 2025-26 at 14-15, ranked #157 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 103.6 and adjusted defense of 104.2 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Fordham
Fordham's power rating of -1.1 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 -1.1 means Fordham projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
