	Basic rating system
	A Somis Sports team Net rating is typically the sum of the Score rating and the Win
	rating.  The score rating is based on the final score (margin of victory) and the strength of the
	team's opposition.  The score rating does not give extra weight to whether or not the
	team won or lost the game.  The win rating is based on the team's won-lost record
	relative to the strength of its schedule and relative to its score rating.
	Specific ratings
	StrOpp - results vs. stronger opposition (a positive number means the team tends to play better vs. stronger opposition).
	Road - results in road games.
	Recent - results in more recent games.
	NC - results vs. non-conference opposition.
	Other ratings
	OpR - average opponent rating (i.e., schedule difficulty).
	Var - average variance per game - average variance from the expected result. A higher number means the team tends to be more inconsistent.
	The average variance is based on the margin of victory or loss (final score) and does not relate directly to wins and losses.
