How LangIndex Rates Portland State
Portland State's power rating of -0.8 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 -0.8 means Portland State projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
