[QUOTE="Piotyr, post: 1597928, member: 747104"] In terms of a team's overall body of work, no. To get a better idea of how well a team has played recently, a good measure is the Sagarin ELO-based model, which has a separate weighting for recent play: [URL]http://sagarin.com/sports/cbsend.htm[/URL] The top 25 based on Sagarin recent play weighting: 1. Gonzaga 2. Illinois 3. Baylor 4. Iowa 5. Michigan 6. Arkansas 7. Kansas 8. Purdue 9. Alabama 10. West Virginia 11. Houston 12. Connecticut 13. Georgia Tech 14. BYU 15. Ohio State 16. San Diego State 17. Maryland 18. Colorado 19. Oklahoma State 20. Florida State 21. Loyola-IL 22. Michigan State 23. Oregon 24. Colgate 25. Memphis Not appearing: Villanova (26th), Virginia (47th), Wisconsin (40th), Creighton (43rd), Tennessee (73rd), Texas (33rd), Texas Tech (28th), USC (53rd) Now, granted, Colgate is weird and mostly due to the odd scenario where neither they nor anyone they played has played anyone outside their conference, so there is no connected comparative data, which kinda breaks ELO because Colgate has dominated their bubble of opponents (and is 59th overall), but this is a pretty reasonable assessment of how good teams have been over the past 2-3 weeks.
