I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Sagarin can suck on thisxthumbsupx. We are in the top 4 teams, and he still has us 9th behind New Hampshire. What an idiotxnonono2x .

You should see the AP and Coaches polls. Politics at its finest. Injustice reigns its ugly head with these ridiculous polls. xnonono2x xmadx

[griz37]

The polls are meaningless, UNI is one of the Final 4 & you have a home game!

To be fair, it's his computer that's the idiot. ;)

Also, UNI's score +2.92 home field advantage = 2.24 better than UNH's score. How much did you win by again last night at home? Was the computer really that far off? :)

We are better them on the field, and in predictions, just not the rankings. Makes perfect sense.

To go into more detail, here are the numbers:

home field advantage 2.92

Richmond 75.2
UNH 68.10
UNI 67.42


So @UNI, UNI is predicted to win by 2.24, calcuation is (67.42 + 2.92) - 68.10
@UNI, Richmond is predicted to win by 4.86, calculation is 75.2 - (67.42 + 2.92)

Let's hope the computer is as "wrong" about the UR/UNI game as it was about the UNI/UNH game :)

Looks good to me. Eastern's season was over in early October, yet we're still in the top 20! :D xrolleyesx

So interesting, of the teams on this list, UR has played #1, #3, #5, #8, #12, #13, #14 and #25. JMU has played #2, #3, #5, #6, #8, #12, #13 and #25. UNI has played #7 and #16. Montana has played #10 twice, #11 and #20. We will see if being "tested" by the Sagarin #25 really matters much this weekend.

I can completely understand the math of the model. I think there is some heart burn saying that a 12-2 UNI team (playing a top 30 team) is still ranked lower than a W&M 7-4 team. We are burdened with playing IN State every year (#233 of 245). Just saying

WM did beat UNH as well!

And to make matters even worse, JMU is the #1 seed in the tournament and had to play the #6 and #3 teams so far. How does that make sense? Oh that's right...geography...

Go Spiders!
