Avg power and Avg SOS are averages over the conference's teams that have played, on the report's rating scale. Non-conf is the conference's combined record against teams outside it, out-of-state opponents included; it sorts by win percentage. A conference with fewer than 4 teams that have played is marked and listed after the rest: its average rests on too few teams to lean on.
