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

(Psst.  Drew's a Clarkson fan.)[/quote]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!

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.  ::blush::

Anybody with copious free time can also run the FPred stat and see what standings come out.  This is all open source. **]

Some changes in the Recruits ratings from BRP:


Clarkson now a B
Princeton now a B
Quinnipiac now a C
Union now a C
Yale now a C-


But no changes in the final predictions.
