Season Projection

120 simulated seasons, each one playing every remaining game and refitting ratings weekly. Outcomes are sampled rather than awarded to the favourite, so upsets happen at the rate the model believes they happen. The band is the forecast; the mean rating barely moves because nothing new is known yet.

Projected final power rankings — top 25
