Pick the better team
Each neutral-field comparison gives the solver evidence about your ordering. You can focus on suggested matchups or work outward from a specific team.

How to build your own view
Your comparisons turn opinions about teams into a private, internally consistent rating system.
Expect early movement
A team can move sharply when you have made few comparisons involving it. As you add picks, the surrounding network of choices anchors your view.
Unlock your table
After 25 picks, OnVarsity shows your full ratings and enables your view on matchup probability displays. Until then, the developing table stays hidden to avoid false precision.
Revise without embarrassment
Your view is allowed to change. As games are played, you can revisit earlier choices rather than forcing new information to fit an opinion you no longer hold.
