How it's counted

Average margin is team points minus opponent points. Conditions can overlap.

Long travel is 1,500 miles or more, measured great-circle venue-to-venue from the prior scheduled game; body clock is measured from home time.

League rank is on the vs.-season column, so it measures how well a team held its own level rather than how good the team is; situations with fewer than five games go unranked. These descriptive splits are not causal estimates.
