2023 Fall Camp

Kind of on/off topic but was just going through Massey game estimates for next Saturday and it also shows through 8/31 games. Saw UConn was 34 to 10 dog, thought last time looked was about 16 points. Someone (or lot of someones) is not buying Mora's "reload".
NC State lost to BCU last year so not like they just missed the playoffs. So lose 41-10 there and have almost no relative improvement UConn vs. NCS once adjust for home field. Must agree NCS stopped playing after 3 quarters up 38-3 last year.
Sure hope Massey is waaaaaay wrong, they act like I'm going to win the starting QB battle, 10 points would be quite disappointing. Not saying they can't score 34 points but last year scored over 30 points in only one FBS game, against UConn.

NC State QB who played against us last year, who was great, got hurt a few games after us and then during the BC game, their freshman backup QB got hurt and played through it, but it was serious enough where he missed the rest of the season. This year they have a transfer QB that is teaming up with the old offensive coordinator coordinator from Virginia, where he threw for 4,500 yards and scored 40 tds in a season. Comparing the team that lost to BC to the one they are bringing to the rent is not a great comparison.

BC beat NC State in a game NC State played without their starting QB.

Line started at 16. Now down to 14.5. People are betting UConn.

I thought Massey was kind of crazy at +24, wonder what their "algorithm" is, it sure doesn't like UConn.

Pretty sure Massey leans heavy on historical data but I could be wrong

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).
 
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.

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?

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

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