secfans.com breaks down the PSU game
Decent break down of the stats and trends to break down how Michigan and PSU will play out. They talk the teams as a whole including player breakdowns for Shea and Trace up till about the 15 minute mark, then start to break down the computer models and stats.

I was actually thinking another Quinn Nordin appreciation thread. That way he knows were DOUBLY APPRECIATIVE and he can do TWICE as good as normal.

Deja vu?!
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
November 1st, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
did they change their minds this time?
November 1st, 2018 at 8:57 PM ^
Watch and let us all know.

Suddenly it is "pedantic" to point out that duplicate threads started long after the event they are describing are less than useful?
Here's a headline for you: We Landed on the Moon!

Can someone googles that word for me and start a thread with the definition? lthxbye

Did they fix the obvious flaw in their computer model?

Didn’t even read this post. I’m landing deep in the nest of sec country (birmingham) Saturday night @ 7. I’ll report back.

Go to Highlands Bar and Grill. It is awesome and even won the James Beard for best restaurant in America.

I didn't see this when originally posted so I just watched it. Interesting take-- I think they forgot one factor in our favor #donbrownispissed

That and I'm pretty sure that Murderwolf is not factored in.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:29 PM ^
The Murderwolf Effect is impossible to quantify. Mostly because he has always been here.

This was posted earlier, and the same holds true now as it does then - their model is fine, but when a core part of it is "raw" numbers not accounting for quality of opponent, I am skeptical.

I think there is also the factor of the quality of in-game coaching decisions. Franklin is worth a TD not scored by his team.

I finally got around to watching the clip after seeing the discussion thread a few days ago. My sense is that the intangible that their model (and no model, really) can account for is the style of coaching. Harbaugh does not care whether he wins by 1 or 50 points; he just wants the "W." That's a very NFL-based perspective, and it impacts the game planning as well as in-game decisions that he makes.
Franklin, by contrast, is 100% a college coach. He seems to want to score as many points as possible, and goes for the big home-run plays on almost every drive. That's a highly variable style of coaching; and, when combined with his nonsensical, in-game decisions (like icing his own kicker with a saved timeout, or reverting to tendencies that have been game-planned by the opposing defense when the game is on the line in the 4th quarter) lead to points scored against his team, and points not scored by his own team.

This thread really needs a meta-gif of Dummy Franklin being restrained by his staff from calling a timeout.

How about a break down of the break down where they break it down
