Yes you are absolutely correct that leaving your starters in the whole game should result in a higher KenPom rating. There are a couple of...
Ha, no that would be great. Instead reports actually say that this money was raised to buy him out this season. Since Florida isn’t doing that,...
Very cool. Side note: of all the things that Mac ever did, the one that probably irks me the most is not letting Eddy try a 60 yd field goal as...
A good model can account for this. 70-40 is a stronger outcome than 100-60, and basically all models appreciate that. Recall when Florida led in...
md raises a good point that in order to make something illegal, we need to know what that thing is. If you are suggesting that propaganda is...
As always, the key question is who decides? The whole point of free speech is to bar the government from deciding what is truth and what is...
Trump, for one. https://www.npr.org/2020/05/28/863932758/stung-by-twitter-trump-signs-executive-order-to-weaken-social-media-companies
This is exactly when you do this. Look back at all the things Trump has ever done. 90% of them can be predicted by “X said something nice about...
Im not going to pretend to know how such investigations work, but it doesn’t sound crazy to me for an investigation into a betting market to...
Again, I’m still not sure it much matters how well polymarket’s odds performed in the election. The evidence for the wash trading was obtained...
Rick, even if there were problems with the auction, my point is that EVERY story is either positive for republicans or propaganda. Don’t you find...
It is difficult to understand Okee, and I don’t know that I understand it well myself. Here’s my best shot so far: wash trading is more about...
Super interesting story that just keeps going. Wash trading seems to be the claim. Here’s an article on it from a couple weeks ago: Exclusive:...
Rick, have you ever noticed that everything that happens in the world, no matter what it is, reflects positively on the Republicans, all the way...
Bummer. Hopefully we can at least get Patchan back this week. It’s been a while.
That would be fun. Some of the modelers offer multiple versions of their ratings based on different plausible assumptions, so maybe you could even...
If your only criterion for quality of Trump cabinet picks is that Trump picks them, then of course you will like them. In fact, there is no room...
I believe KenPom and most of the other models are trained on preseason factors at the beginning of the season. As more game data rolls in, these...
I don’t think this is correct that Title IX was originally centered on athletics. From Wikipedia: Title IX was enacted to fill this gap and...
Kentucky now 20th in KenPom, and Florida down to 21st. Virtually identical ratings.
