25 weeks 3 days ago	Works fine using RSS Radio app on 4S	I use the RSS Radio app (free) and the podcast works fine on an iPhone 4S.   No problems with any Mgopodcasts or WTKA.  OT comment on the podcast itself: Brian is amazingly calm and un-emo despite the insanely frustrating performance last Saturday.  Maniacal laughing and exclaims of "AAARGH BIG TEEEEEEEEEN" are notably absent.
37 weeks 1 day ago	Talent Rank Predictive of wins?	Excellent work, as always, Mathlete. Just wondering:  Have you ever looked to see if your Talent Rank metric has any predictive power as far as wins and losses?  For example, can I take two teams, pull their respecitve Talent Rank values, and compute an expected point differential between the two on a neutral field, or better yet, an expected win probability based on talent difference? It would be interesting to see if Talent Rank predicts wins and losses, and if so, whether Talent Rank has a linear relationship with win probability or not.  Without knowing this, it is hard to get a sense for whether Alabama has an equal chance of beating Michigan as Michigan has of beating Minnesota.  You make this comparison in your diary, but unless I assume a linear relationship between Talent Rank and win probability, I can't say how Michigan's chances of beating Minnesota compare to Alabama's chances of beating Michigan. Either way, I think I speak for nerds everywhere when I say this is very interesting stuff.
