How LangIndex Rates North Florida
North Florida's power rating of -5.4 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 -5.4 means North Florida projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 4 points on a typical night.
