7.7 points vs. an average Maine team (80% band -4.7 to 20.2) · rank #20 among 11-man teams · est. 4% chance of being the top-rated team in Class A North, est. 0% in all of 11-man

3 games of evidence; 25% of today's number is still the starting assumption (average A team, -14.0 from where the program finished the last two seasons). A band that touches 0 means the data can't yet separate this team from average. How the rating works →

"Moved the rating" = today's rating minus what it would be if that game had never happened (everything else re-solved). A big number on one game is worth a second look at the score.
