Good Ole Massey rankings

[Happydad745]

Texas now # 2.

UConn falls four spots with win over Arkansas.

UConn dropped because Massey rates our defense at 17.

[JellyBean]

Never been a fan of the Massey system since the BCS days.

 

[FanFromMaine]

I will admit it’s fun to see teams rise and fall 65 places based in a game or two. Yes, yes those jumps and falls will be less glaring when more games are played.

Agreed

 

[visitingcock]

Oregon drops 7 spots to 10th due to their “loss” to Oklahoma.

Waaaahhh. That’s gonna hurt our SOS when we play them today

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Including Margin of Victory is more predictive than not including it or in capping it.

 

[visitingcock]

And this morning Massey still has Maryland number 3. Shows them as undefeated and NC State as having two losses. Ah well, garbage in garbage out

I guess they’ll catch their mistake but, meanwhile, the butterfly effect on their algorithm affects other teams.

Yeah it's annoying because there's clearly something wrong with their back-end system, as other teams are affected too: for instance, Washington is presented as having a 3-1 record even though they've lost to both Louisville and VCU, and even though the Massey game logs have the W-L correct. I assume they'll fix it soon, but generally speaking, I find Massey to be the best in the biz as far as computer-based rankings go.

 

[visitingcock]

Yeah, the nc state mistake lowers our SOS. Lots of butterfly effects. I presume it will adjust when the “loss” is corrected to a win. Then more butterfly effect flowing from the correction.

I do value Massey but I like throwing rocks at them too.

 

[willtalk]

I thought Massy did a really good job as Abe lincoln. He was also good in Dr Kildare and Arsenic and Old Lace, He should have stuck to acting and kept out of the ratings business.

 

[triaddukefan]

Not as big of a fan of Massey as I was in previous weeks.

 

[ed4ourgirls]

It's way too early for Massey to be relevant. Let's wait till we're at least a dozen games
into the season.
