Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4855785, member: 833"] Including Margin of Victory beyond some simple, minor level was always a bad idea, because it would lead to teams like this year's BYU, that are OK but are pounding teams when they get up so they look very good in the analytics. I think there should be an analytics of the analytics. I would like to see an analysis of what each team's win prediction was in the middle of December compared to where each team ended up, calculated by analytics' system, measured by actuals standard deviation to mid-December prediction. The RPI was fine and simple for measuring the quality of a teams' record, and easy for coaches and fans to understand. Now we have a bunch of black boxes that no one really has any idea if they produce good information or not. There may not be another field in the world where a model that is widely used is not audited, peer reviewed or available for assessment to the people who use it. [/QUOTE]
