How to read this table

3W · 2W · LW · TW: Overall rank three weeks ago, two weeks ago, last week and this week. A green circle means the team's rating went up since last week. Blank = before the season started.
Rating: The overall team rating — higher is better.
SOS / SOS rank: Strength of schedule: how good the team's opponents are. Rank 1 is the toughest schedule.
All margin: A rating that counts every point of margin in every game.
No margin: A rating from wins and losses only — the score doesn't matter.
vs. top teams: The record against teams currently ranked in that top tier.
Projection: The single most likely final record, and the projected full-season strength-of-schedule rank. Orange while games remain; black once the season is complete.

Projected Division Standings

Orange records still depend on games that haven't been played.
