The entire spreadsheet is attached. I'm working with Greg Marra on getting some more specific data sets and analyzing them, and after I do that, I'll post the results. Any specific requests?

Curious...what data or calculation changes explain the reduction of up to almost 3 points from the previous ranking for some teams listed? If the previous calculations were based on results through the 5th week regionals and there has been no additional results/data, what explains the changes observed for this list?
