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
10 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 14 net points per game.
