		Explanation
		We calculated a team's improvement by comparing its final 2009 rating
		to an adjusted 2008 rating.  Based on this calculation, the above listed
		50 teams showed the most improvement in 2009 vs. 2008.
		A team's improvement roughly equates to improvement in net points
		(points scored less points allowed) per game.  Based on the calculation, all
		teams listed above improved by at least 12 net points per game.
