The computer ratings don't take many variables into account, including how particular teams tend to fare at home or on the road, injuries teams may have, emotional factors, how teams are ranked in the polls, and so forth. Nevertheless, they can be a useful - or at least entertaining - guide for what to expect when games are played.

Here are the predictions for today's match-ups in Men's Division I and for ranked teams in the other two men's and three women's divisions. For the toss-ups, the difference in the teams' computer ratings (taking home-field advantage into account) is small enough that a prediction would amount to something close to a coin flip. Home team is listed first.
