train_cutoff_at — 131 cutoffs from
2025-11-20 to 2026-04-07.
Axis spans 66.48 to 82.86.
Hover or tap the chart to name the teams at that point and their
order — every line carries its own hit area, so nothing is read off its color alone.
The faded lead-in on the left is the warm-up: from the season's first
cutoff through 2026-01-22, fewer than half the field had
played 18 games, where a rating (a mean) has not yet settled. It is
faded, not cut — the burn-in is the finding.

The top 25 going into the tournament
Ranked and valued at the pre-tournament cutoff
(2026-03-15) — the last one whose ratings had seen no NCAA
tournament game. This is the
rating each team carried into the bracket the Postseason column reports, so the two
are read on the same information. Hover or click the chart for any other cutoff.
A team's value is blank when it had not yet been rated at that cutoff; a line begins where a
team entered the ratings, so early-season lines are shorter, not missing.
