| 25 weeks 2 days ago | FSU |
We actually jumped FSU (because they dropped) -- they had 3 5* and dropped to 2 5* with the rerank. We gained a 5* by Kalis being reranked up. Since Rivals truncates at 20, we have a legit shot at catching up to Texas if we land more 4* (and/or 5*) in the class. |
| 2 years 12 weeks ago | Statistics |
In order to be statistically valid you would have to change all the teams to 1 (from hockey, curling, bobsled, relays (multiple sports), etc...) not just hockey. e.g. USA = 216 Athletes (all other teams relays were either a combo of individual participants in other sports or a combo of IP's plus one additional and therefore don't further subtract from the total) Therefore USA - 37/147 = 25.2% Further -- some countries sent athletes to complete in only one event. Others (USA included) sent athletes to compete in multiple events. To be truly accurate for wins/opportunity you would have to calculate medals/event participated in not just medals/athlete. This is mitigated partially by the team sports but once you make each team=1 the effect will be more pronounced. In general though comparing teams who (after adjustment) sent 10-20 players/teams with teams who sent 100+ players is simply not going to result in a demonstratively statistically valid comparison. |

Back in college my buddies and I spent tons of time doing this instead of programming or doing homework. It was definitely more fun at the time (heh). |
| 2 years 31 weeks ago | Scheduling |
If we want to have 7-8 home games every year (read: make a profit/pay off the debt on the construction) then we cannot schedule more home/home series in addition to ND. Even the mid-major conference teams are starting to ask for home/home instead of just a 1-game agreement in many cases today. In addition to the above any team we decide to schedule would have to happen to have the same mid-season open date as our big ten by-week happens to land on in order to make it work (and not once but 2x in the home/home case) as we typically easily fill the "pre-season" games up with three teams before the B10 season starts anyway. |
| 2 years 31 weeks ago | Wild Card U |
If you look up the "Wild Card U" in Howells ratings you will find it has a record of 5-80 this year. Wild Card U simply represents non 1-A competition this year to date. So in other words 85 games have been played between 1-A and lower subdivisions this year. It is no longer a reasonable position to establish some sense of "high ground" in scheduling when there isn't such a thing anymore. There are several examples of schools who schedule two non 1-A teams in just the last decade (this year = Mass + Tenn Tech). Miami has played FAMU for years and never gets raked over the coals like we do for 1 or 2 such games. |

The D1A vs D1A (so ignoring D1AA opponents) is currently 25.5 per team per game. So the B10 number above falls into the expected statistical range of the overall average. |

The pages have been updated for 9/27 with the exception of the Polls (later today) and the SoS (probably 9/29 Tuesday). |

If he has it in a sling it may just be bruised or w/e. Hopefully its a minor ding up and will be playable next weekend. |

I think RR just gave up on returns this year assuming that no turnover = good. As frustrating as it is to watch the game knowing there will be essentially no excitement in the punt return game (my favorite part of the game during Breastons tenure) I do see the value of focusing on eliminating the turnovers. This all being said I don't understand why Stonum cannot field the punts as well as the KOs -- mabye too valuable or w/e. |
| 2 years 35 weeks ago | Updated for 9/20 |
Updated all of the current weekly content for games through 9/19 -- with the exception of the average SoS which depends on another site that has yet to update (look for SoS updates tomorrow or Tuesday). |
