MBB: USA South Conference

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

I know this is not basketball, but I just calculated my Power Ratings for WWII and the 1980 Olympic hockey games.  I correctly picked both the Allies over the Germans and the USA to win the gold!  With a little more tweaking, I think I can also accurately predict both the year WWII ended and the final score of the gold medal game.  Let me crunch the numbers ....

Week 8 Power Rankings

Greensboro
Averett
CNU
NC Wesleyan
Ferrum
Methodist
Shenadoah

Yes I know NCWC is 2-0 in the conference, though they are only 7-7.  I am sure with a better record they would be higher.  I know must of you don't understand this offense and defense efficency, but I tell you which two teams scare me the most NCWC and Ferrum.

I was talking to GCGullett last night I told him from what I just told you that I thought NCWC was going to beat CNU last night.

just so i understand...the monarchs have a 5 wins vs. d3's with a .440 win % (fc has 6 wins vs. d3's with a .337 win %), they have played a MUCH tougher overall schedule than ferrum (.618 opp win % vs. .432 opp win %) and they beat ferrum AT ferrum, yet they aren't as good as the panthers?

and this was determined by FORMULA, not by personal opinion, right? 

i've said it before, i'll say it again...your formula is flawed!

i'm with the mongoose...predictions like the one you made re: ncwc over cnu carry much more weight when you post them instead of say them in private conversations which none of us are privy to - in the future, when your formula calls an upset like that, let us know!

please note the highlights in your quoted post...please see that you fix these errors in future posts

here are the NPR (Narch Power Rankings) - I'm not going to alter these rankings because they have MU ranked pretty high

here is how I came to these rankings - i looked the following for each conference school - d3 wins and the winning % of the teams beaten, d3 losses and the winning % of the winning team - i then came up with a table and ranked the teams by wins/opp win % and losses/opp win % - then i assigned points

• each d3 win got 1 point
• the top ranked win/opp win % got 7 points, the last ranked got 1 point
• 
  the top ranked loss/opp win% got 7 points, the last ranked got 1 point
• each win against a >.500 team got 1 point (essentially giving 2 pts for these wins)

i then subtracted the following

• 1 point for losses
• 1 point for losses vs. <.500 teams

the team with the highest point total is the best in the conference, according to the NPR

here are the rankings:
AU - 19
GC - 15
SU - 11
MU - 10
NCWC -  9
CNU -  7
FC -  0

i might update these after the first half of conference games are over

Hey - I missed the CNU game last night...good thing....I was in a bad mood last night anyway. But I was able to sneak out my blackberry, find the game stats on the internet and had it next to me at the restaurant!! If my wife had seen it, I really would have been in a bad mood!!!

CNU85 Power rankings:

1. Angelina Jolie

WAY overrated...

now jessica alba, 'nother story

Is CNU leading (near the top) the nation in blocked shots? I see they got another 11 last night. And how can you get that many blocked shots, consistently game after game, and be outrebounded?? Something is not fundamentally right!

I'm an old guy.....no such thing as overrated!!!!!!

Narch,

Something for you to do in case you get bored......when was the last time CNU has lost more home games than road games in a season? Under CJ, what's the most number of home losses in a season?

[CNU85]

Karma for Narch....just because!

[CNU85]

CNU fans, so far this season!

Funny you mentioned this, Mr. 85. I went to the ncaa site and noticed they are third in blocks per game for games thru 1/14.

Agreed.  Beating the Russians in the semifinals was truly a "miracle on ice."

but they have a problem rebounding!! (CNU, not the hockey team).
