Sagarin's new rating system with last year always weighting so heavily is dumb

Wait till week 5 or 6 when last year’s results no longer factor in

He's keeping last year's results as 15% of the rating all year long.

It's not idiotic. It makes the model more accurate overall. There will always

I’ll disagree with you on that slightly

You make large assumptions that he didn't consider and test that as well.

I guess - his process is evolving - he’s said so in interviews this fall

It's never perfect. These things are shooting for 75% ish straight up and 53%+

Not using it?

Dropping off last year's results after week 4 last he used to.

RdF3

9/16/18 9:54am

It does. They back test these things. How do you expect it to perform

molodyets

9/16/18 9:59am

And what's he using a base accuracy off of? The AP top 25? His opinion of how

On field results of what it predicted vs the outcome.

It would make sense to do a 5 year average of final ratings.
