Thanks to the ESPN Basketball Power Index, there is now an analytical way to predict the victor of each college basketball game in the entire nation. For those that aren't familiar with the BPI, you can read the definition of the index here.

Here are the BPI's complete game-by-game projections for the Rutgers Basketball program and the Scarlet Knights' possible final regular-season record using those numbers.

The College Basketball Power Index (BPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of performance going forward. BPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Strength of Record (SOR) is a measure of team accomplishment based on how difficult a team's W-L record is to achieve. Game predictions account for opponent strength, pace of play, site, travel distance, day's rest and altitude, and are used to simulate the season 10,000 times to produce season projections. Numbers update daily.
