I don't know why he stopped doing NCAAW, or what could be do to encourage him to restart. I was concerned when my post got than long that folks wouldn't make it to them bottom. The Elo data are from [URL="http://warrennolan.com/basketballw/2020/elochess"]ELO Chess Ranking 2020 Womens College Basketball | WarrenNolan.com[/URL]. FanFromMaine also said Massey explains this here: [URL="https://www.masseyratings.com/theory/massey.htm"]Massey Ratings Description[/URL]. The key sentences are [LIST] [*]The overall team rating is a merit based quantity, and is the result of applying a Bayesian win-loss correction to the power rating. [*]The Massey Ratings are designed to measure past performance, not necessarily to predict future outcomes. [*]In contrast to the overall rating, the [B]Power[/B] is a better measure of potential and is less concerned with actual wins-losses. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
