About CBBMKT

CBBMKT (College Basketball Market) is an independent fan project that follows men's college basketball like a stock market. Every Division I team is a ticker, and its price moves after its games based on how the team played.

How prices work

Each team opens the season at a price based on its preseason rating. After every game, the price moves by how much better or worse the team did than expected. Lose as the favorite and it costs extra. The full method is on How it works.

Where the data comes from

Ratings and game results come from Bart Torvik's T-Rank. Basketball spending for the valuation pages comes from the U.S. Department of Education's Equity in Athletics (EADA) reports. No betting lines or odds go into the model.

The football side

CBBMKT is the basketball sister of CFBMKT, which prices every FBS football team the same way.

Who's behind it

An independent fan project. It is not affiliated with any school, conference, the NCAA or any media company. Team names, abbreviations and logos are used only to identify teams.

The fine print

Entertainment only. Prices are not betting picks or investment advice, and there is nothing to buy or sell.
