As many of you have noticed, things have been behind schedule around here. I mentioned it a few times last season, but the old-style Pomeroy Ratings are going away this season in favor of a system based on basketball things. Due to this, there won’t be any preseason ratings. We’ll just watch it evolve together through the first weeks.<\/p>\n
In addition, the functionality of the power ratings page will take a while to spin up. Eventually, I will have a game-by-game listing of the four factors on each team’s schedule page, along with predictions rooted in the adjusted efficiency equations and Bill James’ log5 creation. This will add a little more meat to the “scouting report” concept I’m trying to provide for each team. But with my additional duties providing statistical packages for selected ESPN telecasts, this will be a slower process than usual. <\/p>\n
Of course, there are other things I have to do for this site, also. Like write up something that explains what each of the columns on the new power ratings page<\/a> means. Most of you can figure them out if you’ve been around here frequently, but folks hopping on the bandwagon in February will need help. <\/p>\n
