With three weeks left in the 2023-24 regular season, it’s time to check in on those hallowed over/under projections from the preseason.
We last looked at them back in mid-January, so it’s the perfect time to check who can still make a push in these final 10-12 games.
We’ll see how teams are projected to finish and how likely it is they do that. Plus, we can throw a little analysis in there and, of course, flawlessly rank each team for the 23rd straight week without a single complaint about said rankings.
Reminder: The Power Rankings don’t just rank the 30 teams. We divide these teams into tiers, which teams can move in and out of. We currently have the tiers broken into seven new categories:
Eliminated – They’ve been eliminated from the Play-In race.
Season is over, just not mathematically — They haven’t started tanking yet, but it’s on the table this season.
Looking to make the Play-In — They’ve been rebuilding/retooling and think they can crack the top 10 in their respective conference.
Play-In Tournament teams or better — They should be in the mix unless something disastrous happens.
Playoff teams — Probably don’t have to worry about dropping down to the Play-In Tournament.
On the brink of contention — A piece away from us believing they can win the title.
Contenders — They are contending for the championship, barring a massive injury.
