UAAP SEASON 76 LEAGUE REVIEW AS OF AUGUST 19, 2013

*Each periodic review contains updated Team Standings, Team Power Rankings, Position Rankings, and Statistical Leaders. This was made BEFORE the Saturday games.

TEAM STANDINGS:

Team	Wins	Losses
FEU	7	2
NU	6	3
UE	5	3
DLSU	5	4
Ateneo	4	4
UST	4	4
Adamson	3	6
UP	0	8

POWER RANKINGS:

These rankings are based on each team's Cumulative Efficiency Ratings (CER - sum of all its players' efficiency ratings as calculated by PBA-Online.net) AND its wins. The formula I used was this:

Team EFF = CER + (# of wins x 70)

I gave each win a value of 70 stat points simply because the average score for each of the college teams in the 2013 Filoil Flying V Preseason Premier Cup (based on Statsboard.com) was 72.45ppg. I just rounded that down to an even 70.

Despite the limitations of the statistical basis, I believe that these rankings still generally reflect a balance of "how good each team has been" and "how good each team is projected to be."

I’m 110% sure not everyone will agree with the following rankings, but that was never the point anyway. As long as this fosters discussion and gives fodder for tabletop discourse, then all’s good. Well, hopefully.

Let's go. Time for the disagreeing to begin.

Rodney Brondial's Falcons sink, while
Emmanuel Mbe's Bulldogs rise in our Power Rankings.

THE GAMES THAT PLAY US: S76 FIRST ROUND STANDINGS, RANKINGS, LEADERS, AND WHY THIS YEAR’S SECOND ROUND MIGHT BE THE MOST EXCITING EVER

28 of the 56 elimination round UAAP games are done. One half of the season is behind us. The mighty Tamaraws of FEU are sitting pretty atop the UAAP hill with an unblemished record, whiles the UP Fighting Maroons are languishing in an all-too-familiar spot at the basement. Meanwhile, the other 6 teams are all tightly packed in the middle of the standings. Three teams have 4 wins and 3 losses, while the other three have 3 wins and 4 losses. 6 of the 8 teams are just a game ahead or behind each other.

And, if you’re a true fan of the game, all these should make you giddy about the prospects in the second round. Before that, however, let’s take a quick look-back at the first round of Season 76 and see which teams and players did really well, or otherwise.
