CFB Week 1 Grades

College Football, College Football 2015 BlogBy RufusSeptember 9, 2016

Team can play well and lose, or poorly and win. In order to see beyond the score to determine how a team performed fundamentally, we score a team’s performance in each game relative to all games played in the last ten years, accounting for opponent strength. With this tool we can objectively see which wins were…

Do we have any bowl picks?

Analysis, College Football, College Football 2015 BlogBy Cade MasseyDecember 21, 2015

Last week I posted picks for a bowl “confidence pool”. Those simply require ranking the bowls 1-40 in how confident you are in who the outright winner will be. You bet/get 40 points for your most confident, 39 for next, etc. Our usual rankings are fine for that and it adds some flavor to the…

Picks for Bowl Pools

College Football, College Football 2015 BlogBy Cade MasseyDecember 16, 2015

Have been inspired this week to enter a bowl confidence pool. Crazy to try to predict bowls, we understand, but better our numbers than nothing, right? Well, we’ll see. We like that it’s confidence-based, and a reasonably big sample. And we like that it will add some flavor to the holidays. The usual details apply.…

Analysis, College Football, College Football 2015 BlogBy Cade MasseySeptember 3, 2015

So you’re forecasting the season for the top 25 teams in college football. What do you think matters more, how good a team is or what kind of schedule they play? We all know strength of schedule matters, but how much? Might differences in schedule strength contribute as much to the final standings as differences…

Most over- and under-rated CFB teams

Analysis, College Football, College Football 2015 BlogBy Cade MasseySeptember 3, 2015

For yesterday’s show on Wharton Moneyball I took a look at how expectations differed between “Experts” and “Algorithms”. I.e., the coaches and writers who vote in the two main polls versus analytics-based models like ours. To do this I just took the average points in the Coaches and AP polls, and compared that to the…

CFB 2015

College Football, College Football 2015 BlogBy Cade MasseySeptember 2, 2015

Howdy and welcome to the 2015 football season. Finally. As much as we like speculation, we’re very happy to have real football and real results on the way soon. We’ve posted our pre-season rankings and will have picks before Thursday’s openers. And then of course next week we’ll fold in the NFL. Our Top 25…
