Strength of Loss (SOL): This poll ranks each team by the strength of their losses. It measures how hard you are to beat. The SOS % for only your losses is calculated to determine your SOL % and this is then averaged with your W/L% to get your SOL score. Teams that have not lost will automatically have a 1.000 SOL %.
(SOL % + W/L %) / 2 = SOL Ranking Score
