Never eliminated, he's keeping 15% weight to last year's results all year

Only thing that makes me want to do is ignore Sagarin.

Why on earth would he do that? What does last year's results have to do with

On the bright side, I guess the 4-9 team only sucked 85% as much as we thought

No idea why he thinks it's a good idea. I think it's stupid too.

What are the effects?

it improved his game by game predictions. If it didn't it wouldn't be in there.

Ha! More accurate based on whose subjectivity? The eye ball test? That is

Off of his previous formula backtesting for years and years of data.

Those are great points I had not thought of.

Yes, in a system designed to ranked and project the final score of every game
