RK blends two things, 70% what a team has earned this season (RECORD +/-: its wins minus the wins a #25-level team would expect against the same schedule) and 30% POWER. POWER is a schedule-adjusted power rating from the same solver behind every SCIAC matchup projection (team_rating.rate_teams(), always solved at national scope regardless of this toggle) -- a different, D3-native methodology from the HS site’s CIF-specific SP Strength Index, which has no D3 equivalent yet. RUN O/PASS O/RUN D/PASS D are real per-play grades (unit_grades.get_index(), the same numbers already powering StoryOwl matchup PDFs); defense columns show yards PREVENTED vs. average (sign-flipped), so higher is better across all four columns.
