2014 NCAA SRS Ratings

[Pitz]

Have these been published online anywhere?

Coming up empty on searches.

For FCS, I don't believe they are published until after the selection committee meets, no? There are some efforts among folks on this board to estimate what the SRS will show.

[Pitz]

I would welcome estimates too!

UNI's AD flat out ripped the SRS to shreds and said it wasn't even worth releasing since it was so terrible.

UNH's AD said it needs work. I don't think SRS is a factor.

Can I ask what this is? I feel like I've heard of it before but I'm unfamiliar with why people have issues with it

tldr version- Depends on win-loss a lot, SOS calculations are terrible. It is basically a way for the weaker conferences to get more teams in.

There is an explanation of the SRS (of sorts) around page 15.

Because we all know that wins and losses aren't important to "stronger" conferences. xsmhx

Please expound on this. What is exactly wrong with their calculations? How would you improve them? Why is it a way for the weaker conferences, get more teams in?

If they used Sagarin SOS would it be good for the SOS part of the formula?

Last year's stronger conferences are well represented.
