Men

Some notable differences between USAU estimated rankings and teams’ Elo ratings. Florida United and Dig have much higher USAU rankings than their Elo ratings suggest. Johnny Bravo and Ironside have higher Elo ratings. Does that mean they are better/worse than their USAU rankings indicate or have their Elo ratings not readjusted from where they finished 2016? We’ll see what happens the remainder of the season. Also, note that Doublewide’s loss to MedMen did not impact their Elo rating because MedMen is not included in these ratings.

Women

There is much more differentiation at the top of the women’s division compared to the men’s. The top 4 teams are all 1850+ in Elo ratings. As far as teams that stick out, it appears that Pop is quite overrated in their USAU ranking compared to their Elo rating. The reason for this is that placement games are weighted 0.5x in this Elo rating system. Pop’s best wins this year have come in placement games which are weighted equally in the USAU ranking system.
