Why we have them here

Boston College's preseason projection of +3.4 (No. 114 of 365) starts from the roster: its players' ratings, weighted by projected minutes, add up to a roll-up worth +3.3, more than the +2.0 typical of teams ranked near it. Last season's rating (No. 202 at the end of 2025-26) adds -0.6, less than its neighbours' +0.5; the program's level two and three seasons back and the roster's experience and shape add +0.4. It returns 5% of last season's minutes, less than teams ranked near it (59%). The projection leans most on Andrija Bukumirovic (+3.2), Money Williams (+2.5) and Brandon Benjamin (+1.5); the newcomer who matters most is Andrija Bukumirovic, a transfer from UT Martin, at +3.2. Its 80% range, -3.8 to +10.7, is about as wide as that of teams ranked near it.

A player's rating is points per 100 possessions better than an average Division I player while he is on the floor. Contribution weights it by the share of a rotation slot he is projected to play, so a star on the bench and a role player who never sits both read right. Rank is among all 5,249 rated players. MPG is the projected share of a rotation slot times 40. "From" is last season's team. The bars are contribution, the player's rating times his projected share; their sum is the roll-up the projection starts from.
