Haslametrics: For Those Who Love Statistics

Post by PonyLaw90 »

I may be behind the curve, but I wasn't familiar with this guy. Anyway, he has some good things to say about our team.

He has us projected as a #8 seed and ranked 24th. We can hate on tcu's rank, but they beat us and are currently unbeaten. I think that ends today, btw.

I believe Wisconsin has hired him as an analytic consultant, which will probably be a trend in college athletics going forward.

His are the only ratings that start each season with every team being equal, so itΓÇÖs fun to follow over the course of the season. The matchup tool is fun, too.

He predicts a lot of scores eerily close, like Vegas does. ThereΓÇÖs something to it, and he gets better at it every year.

So do we have to change the score of our Arizona game?

According to it, Houston and SMU are 8 seeds which is fine but why is Cincy a 10 seed and WSU only 5?

My guess is SOS so far. Cincy has not played a tough schedule. Houston does look like they could make the Tournament this year.
