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.

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%+

molodyets

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.

RdF3

9/16/18 9:54am

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

On field results of what it predicted vs the outcome.

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