Last Season (2025-26)
Oregon State finished 2025-26 at 17-16, ranked #182 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 107.3 and adjusted defense of 110.1 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Oregon State
Oregon State's power rating of -0.9 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 -0.9 means Oregon State projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
