2023 Fall Camp

NC ST will have a new QB this year.

And so will UConn.

 

[huskidork]

so so close to the season, I'm excited I expect us to start of well Go Huskies!

At the beginning of the year computer ranking are largle based on human guesses.

 

[ScottVib]

Despite last season's success.. the computer ratings generally still had the Huskies pretty low on their rankings, with the majority of the wins coming against teams rated in that sub-90 range. Many of the beginning of the year ratings are last year's rating with an adjustment for returning players. Given that it's not a surprise that the computer ratings still don't have a glowing opinion.

I do wonder to what extent the computer ratings consider talent transfers in-bound (although that would probably get even more subjective than considering talent departures).

NC ST will have a new QB this year.

The new QB is Brennan Armstrong, a dual threat starter from Virginia who is reuniting with his former OC. If he can find his mojo from two years ago, they could be dangerous.

And last season's results.

 

[Stinger92860]

And so will UConn.

Maybe

 

[UConnJim]

What hurt UConn's computer rankings last year were the game 3 through 5 losses:

Syracuse 48-14
@Michigan 59-0
@NC State 41-10

They have talent on D, some holes to fill on offense. But if they're buying bad press on us or living in the past I think we make them pay. My way too early prediction is we win by more than 7 points. Only key injuries would change that prediction.

 

[Palatine]

And last season's results.

Which were compiled by a team they may or may not resemble the 2023 squad.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Maybe

Sure seems like it.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Which were compiled by a team they may or may not resemble the 2023 squad.

Exactly - and I think with the advent of the immediate eligibility transfer portal, last year’s results have less correlation to this year's anticipated results for more teams than in the past.

Well thats just not true. A data model is derived from datasets and patterns in said data. The differences in models is what data they use and how they interpret it, meaning if lets say model A heavily weights projected wins on shoelace brand and model B on last 5 seasons win rate, you will likely get very different outputs.

Or even 10 year historical data versus 5 years historical data will show major differences

So, they have to make assumptions or guesses on how much to weight different factors?

[KembaKek]

KembaKek's gut feeling: We will not learn who is the starting quarterback tomorrow

 

[Scoe]

Why make an announcement, is there a rule that there needs to be one on a week before the season?

 

[Windham4th]

Not even. With proper tools, you can create processes that figure out what data points are relevant or insignificant. Its not at all about football, its just data. The more the better.

Plus wait until this leads to ChatGPT applications that crunch the numbers and help people bet their money more effectively.

 

[KembaKek]

Of all the things GPT can do... analytics and math is DEFINITELY not up there

 

[formerlurker]

The math checks out.

Friday they said Roberson had tweaked his arm, Zion ran out of gas and Fagnano had tweaked his calf.

Almost sounds like whomever is healthiest first may get the nod.

You notice they didn't mention Tucker. Could be they're baiting the trap for NC State............

 

[Palatine]

The way things have gone for us I wouldn't be surprised if all four QBs are out for the season by Friday.
