Matchup effects are no doubt real. Though I do think it’s difficult to identify them, when teams play each other only once. After the first...
I think I understand what you are saying, Kyle. The disparity in quality between Florida and Missouri is so large that it can’t reasonably be...
I apologize if I misunderstood your criticism davis. Every time I tried to do a comprehensive comparison of Auburn and Florida’s resume, you would...
It’s a nice sound bite. I would be interested to know exactly how we will ensure students are learning what they need to be successful.
Thanks for indulging my nerd rantings, Davis. I respect that you believe that those games provided unique insight into the team’s future. I’ll...
While I want to give Auburn their due respect, davis, don’t confuse me with an Auburn fan. I’d be elated to beat them in the NCAA tournament. And...
Id personally like to see Missouri again.
I certainly don’t mean to demean the Gators’ amazing wins over Auburn, Bama, and Tennessee, davis. I just think if our task is to rank two teams,...
It does seem bonkers. Then again, it may also be seen as a testament to Donovan’s ability to build balanced teams and get them to adopt a...
I’m on the side of preferring a #1 seed over worrying about location, but I will note that Arizona doesn’t do daylight savings, so currently they...
Well said, phidelt. SOS has to matter, but it’s just not always clear exactly how to apply this maxim. With Florida and Auburn it’s clear, because...
It’s funny, davis, I’m often driven mad by people’s lack of interest in objectivity. I wonder why some posters visit Too Hot when all they do is...
I see what you are saying, Kyle. Great wins feel like a pinnacle, and ours should feel great. Still, if we ignore bad losses, we will be led to...
It’s true at this point, our schedule has been stronger, and whether that comes from games in or out of conference shouldn’t matter. It is also...
Clearly, all media will have ways they prefer to frame issues, but if either of those teams beat Florida and Auburn this week, I would truly think...
As long as Drejer sticks around, I think we’ll be alright.
A value of the metrics is that they are comprehensive and don’t arbitrarily focus on a subset of the data. For example, you could note that...
Same record, better strength of schedule. I’d put Auburn ahead for now as well, but more games to come.
Thanks guys. You are definitely correct that models based on 50 games of data will be more reliable than those based on 20 games. However, there...
That’s really interesting, Ocala. I looked more and saw similar variation over time and day. Not sure why a model’s predictions would bounce so...
