How the rankings work

The twenty best weeks by Australians in NCAA Division I men's basketball, Monday to Sunday, ranked by a score that weighs each game's production, shooting and turnovers against the strength of the opponent and the result.

Every game gets a value. Start with points, add 0.5 for each rebound and assist and 1.25 for each steal and block, then take off 0.45 for each missed shot, 0.4 for each missed free throw and 1.1 for each turnover. A game never counts for less than 0.

Then multiply by the opponent:

Opponent	Multiplier
An AP top 10 team	2
A team ranked 11 to 25	1.75
An unranked team from the ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten or SEC	1.5
Any other Division I team	1
A team outside Division I	0.25

A win adds 10%. The score beside each name is the average game value for the week, plus 10% for a second game and 20% for three or more. Only this week counts: nothing carries over.
