[TexasJim]

Nobody complaining that 2 private schools are in the top 8? I thought a few folks might comment....

 

[smokeyjoe53]

I will if you want me to. I can complain about nearly anything. I'm kinda the Andy Rooney of this site.

 

[oldfat&bald]

Now Smokey, I can gripe as good as, if not better than, you. My general gripe is all the people griping.

ofb, you're like an old woman. If you can't gossip about it you gripe about it. Are you related to rainjack?

 

[TexasJim]

Cowboy, FYI, Aquilla is 19. Apparently the check bounced. JK

Yeah but I am older and more curmudgeonly than you......

I paid with cash this week. If hornyboy doesn't have it fixed next week, I'm going to have to take him behind the shed for a "talk".

 

[Caveman]

I find interesting the disparity between Throckmorton's relative standing here as opposed to Granger's system where they would be considered the third best team. Any explanation for that?

 

[Shad Kline]

Yeah, we use totally different types of systems. He uses strength of schedule, I don't.

 

[Caveman]

Good enough. What are the basic parameters that drive the rating? Thanks.

 

[Shad Kline]

|(My spread - actual score) / 2|

Beat the spread, go up by that much, other team goes down by that much. Cap at 45 on spread and actual.

That's it. That's why I call it oversimplified, lol.

 

[fajitapete]

Good enough. What are the basic parameters that drive the rating? Thanks.

In my system - simplied of course, ratings are assigned and based on the delta and the actual difference in the game adjustments are made.
example:

TeamA 150, teamB 100, based on the difference in ratings the game should be about a 50pt difference. They play the game and the final score is 30 - 20 thats a 10 pt difference so there needs to be adjustments made:
choices are:
TeamA was ranked to high but TeamB was ranked just right - adjustments would be TeamA loses 40 points team B stays the same OR
TeamA was ranked just right and TeamB was to low - adjustments would be TeamA stays the same and team B gains 40 points OR
somewhere in between.

My system adjusts based on how far the actual deviates from the projected so in this scenario A would move down but not to much as they still won and B would move up somewhat because they played within 1.4 scores so the adjustments might be TeamA - 5.5 to 144.5 and team B + 8.5 to 108.5. But each week the measure gets better as the teams approach an accurate rating. The amounts of change can change week to week because there is some curve fitting going on in the back ground and there are 6 possible formulas that can be applied. And twice a year/season I take the current power rating and go back to week 0 and calculate the deltas all the way forward again.

 

[Caveman]

Thanks guys. I presume you have a program/spreadsheet to do this for you? I must have been absent the day this was taught in school!

 

[Shad Kline]

Yes, I use excel and programmed in the formulas, but I have to enter the scores manually. Working on a tag picker to upload the scores automatically, but I have not got it perfected yet.
