Power Rankings
Same rating that sets the lines: a team's projected margin against an average team in the rated pool on a neutral field. Range is ± one standard error; ◆ marks a team whose rank could plausibly move five or more spots. RPI is what the IHSAA seeds the playoffs by, with the team's rank in its class; gold where it sits five or more places from the power rank.
