Hooked on Huskers Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Jeff is reluctant to release ratings until early October but forced USA/Today contract. Still interesting. http://www.usatoday....arin/2013/team/ Huskers rating - #21 Predictor column - NU by 22 pts. against Wyoming Some teams weird ratings but keep in mind, early in the season. Gamblers use Sagarin's ratings as a source of "Power Rankings," traditionally used as a way to determine the spread between two teams - wiki source Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sagarin gets more accurate as the season goes on, doesn't he? August Sagarin = random crap sticking to the wall. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 He still calls the FCS "AA". At least he doesn't call it Division II. *cough* knapp *cough* Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sagarin gets more accurate as the season goes on, doesn't he? August Sagarin = random crap sticking to the wall. Pretty much. He even says so at the top of his ratings. They really don't start to paint an accurate picture until at least halfway through the season. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Interesting he has South Dakota State ranked above Southern Miss and Wyoming. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't mind his rankings. Its nice to see that he isn't biting the tOSU hype either. TCU at 14th, Boise St at 15th and Wisconsin being ranked at 17th above Michigan is odd to me though. Other than that, looks legit. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Also, doesn't Old Dominion become D-1A this year? Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sagarin gets more accurate as the season goes on, doesn't he? August Sagarin = random crap sticking to the wall. Yep, early season he has to use preseason rankings and other projections; it isn't until 6-7 games into the season that his ratings are based on current season stats and data standing alone; this is when they become accurate.

In August and September..........yep, I generally agreed. However Jeff's predictor column is pretty much accurate. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Interesting he has South Dakota State ranked above Southern Miss and Wyoming. Jackrabbits received #7 rating in official FCS preseason poll. IB Zenner is a cross between Rex and Woodhead. And experienced QB and WR's. Quote Link to comment
