Aren’t there enough computer rankings already?
Bracketizer.com feels that the TSR created here is superior to other rankings. In particular, the TSR rankings give more credit to those teams that play in the so-called “Mid-Major” conferences and not favoring teams that come from the “Power Conferences”. For example, in the 2006-2007 season, Southern Illinois, Virginia Commonwealth, UNLV, Drexel, Creighton, Davidson, Butler, and Old Dominion all show up in the Bracketizer.com TSR top 25. Of those teams only UNLV makes an appearance in the RPI top 25. Seven of those eight teams made it to the NCAA tournament with four making it to the second round and three making it to the Sweet Sixteen.
