NCAA D1 women's basketball team strength board.
Team strength derived from per-player Bayesian posteriors → minutes-weighted team offense. Defense is empirical (points allowed per game). net_rating is the rating used by the matchup predictor — combined with HFA = 4.16 and σ = 14.46 it gives walk-forward 2025 OOS accuracy of 70.4% / log-loss 0.574.
