I think you were supposed to say something like, "see my blog".

Then again, last year's predictions put the eventual 1st and 2nd teams at a tie for 5th, while its predicted winner ended up in 2nd, and its predicted 2nd-placer ended up in a tie for 8th. So there's hope for us yet!RichH

There's always hope, but not from that direction.ftyuv

This year I took advantage of BRP's recruiting grades to gut and retool the algorithm, and try to make it a little more "common sense." I've been alternating either edging out or getting pounded by the Coaches' Poll for the last decade.
I haven't run the numbers, but I suspect that if you simply took the prior year's standings as the next year's prediction, you'd probably run a decent chance of beating both of us.
Anybody with copious free time can also run the FPred stat and see what standings come out. This is all open source.
