Football Update: Early Peek at the Sagarin Rating

Early Peek at the Sagarin Rating

Read Update »

I'll take being #4 out of that group....


Oct 9, 2011, 1:19 PM

....for now. Bama and LSU play each other so one of them will drop out. If we take care of business, we'll deserve to be considered among the elites this year.

This is actually the ELO-CHESS rating not the Sagrin rating. However, ELO-CHESS is the computer ranking used by the BCS.

See http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt11.htm

The only problem I have with this rating is the "versus top 30" column which continually shows us as only 2. Yet Auburn was 21, Florida State was 11 and VT was 11 when we played them. Go figure.

Early season over-rankings irrelevant. Actual results better***

Overall #9 rank is a synthesis of "Predictor" & "ELO Chess"


Oct 9, 2011, 6:55 PM

Check out the preamble to the Sagarin rankings for an explanation. ELO Chess (no factor for margin of victory) is used for the BCS rankings.

Big difference between ELO Chess & Predictor for Clemson.


Oct 9, 2011, 6:49 PM

It's interesting that Clemson has such a big difference between its #17 Predictor rank and its #4 ELO Chess rank (which is more politically correct and is used by the BCS, because it doesn't include margin of victory). Arkansas is in a similar boat. Stanford and Oregon are in the opposite situation of having much lower Predictor ranks than their ELO Chess ranks.

Oh well... Sagarin's stuff is a bit weird until the data gets "well-connected" later in the season.

ELO_CHESS is all that matters.....fortunately for us.
