2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Temple at #172 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -0.2 points per 100 possessions. The model projects a step back from last season's #148 finish. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
Only 29% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in. The program adds 1 incoming recruit to the mix.
Last Season (2025-26)
Temple finished 2025-26 at 15-16, ranked #148 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 110.6 and adjusted defense of 110.6 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Temple
Temple's power rating of -0.2 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 -0.2 means Temple projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 0 points on a typical night.
