The College Basketball Schwach Indicator, Grouped by Conference: Feb. 25

Welcome to the Feb. 25 edition of the Schwach Indicator rankings, once again grouped by conference for easy viewing.

As before, I listed each conference in the order of their Schwach averages. I also listed the biggest jumps and drops in each conference while showing those schools' wins and losses for the week to show why they gained or lost as many places as they did.

In addition, I compiled each conference's top team into a single list for quick comparison.

Thanks again to Jordan Schwarz and Co. for the Schwach Indicator. Enjoy!
