Presidents Day Special
I've been looking at all things Massey and what they use to come up with their various predictive tools. Basically, their Rankings are based on the games a team has played and how they preformed in those games compared to all other DII teams. In effect, it is a "reward" for past performance (games that have already been played). The current Top 10 for the Atlantic Region are:
1. IUP
2. WLU
3. Ship
4. Charleston
5. Va State
6. Fairmont
7. Hurst
8. Cal
9. UPJ
10. JC Smith
But Massey also has another Ranking that few pay much attention to, that being their Power Ranking (Or PWR). The Power Ranking is the true predictive tool in Massey in that it looks at and quantifies past performance and attempts to predict future results. Massey's Top 10 Power Ranking for the Atlantic currently stand at:
1. WLU
2. IUP
3. Ship
4. Charleston
5. Va State
6. Hurst
7. Cal
8. ESU
9. Fayetville
10. Va Union
Sooooo...if you are rewarding a team for how they have played thus far in the season, use the Rankings. But if you are trying to predict the future and win a Washington or Lincoln or two on this Presidents Day, use the Power Rankings!
