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

Answered my question

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

Wow. Idiotic

9/16/18 9:52am

Especially since last year BYU underperformed to talent substantially

9/16/18 9:52am

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

I’ll disagree with you on that slightly

9/16/18 10:25am

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

9/16/18 10:45am

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

9/16/18 10:51am

Sure. no disagreement. I think we can agree on that statement fully

When does last year drop off completey

As long as it is consistent what is the problem?

I think it's dumb that even in December, 15% of a team's rating will be based

What do you propose?

TNT

9/16/18 9:53am

Not using it?

9/16/18 9:54am

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

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.
