Do we have an ETA on the release?

I think they've typically been between 3 and 4 PM ET in past years.

First rankings are always late... they pick up the pace in the next two.

Raise your hand if you are hitting refresh on the regional rankings page!

HAND RAISED

Interestingly... the SOS numbers and such are new (http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2013/02/06/ncaa-regional-rankings-week-1/), but the rankings aren't up there...

I've been trying for over an hour and can't get my OWP numbers to match theirs.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Sounds like user error LOL

That's what the NCAA would say. Any chance it's a matter of a game or two not being correct in terms of in-/out-of-region?

I've taken two teams -- Calvin and Alma -- and made sure all their opponents' regional record matched my records (I found 3 errors in my data, one in theirs) but still didn't come up with their same numbers. Stuck with simple OWP first, because it's easiest to isolate. As long as opponent W-L records match, it should be easy.

I get .379 for Calvin's OWP, they show .371.

Closest I can get is summing all of the opponents wins and losses (instead of averaging the percentages) -- that comes out to .371 -- but that's not the right way to do it and wouldn't include any HA multiplier. This is why I pulled up Alma -- but theirs didn't come out the same.

Three errors in your data -- does that include our data?

Yeah, I sent you a PM about the ones I found.

Kalamazoo vs. Rhodes should be IN
Alma vs. Wheaton should be OUT
Alma vs. Chicago should be OUT

then two more I just found

Ohio Northern vs. Hood should be OUT
Defiance vs. Frostburg St. should be OUT

Thanks. With me not being unemployed this year, I haven't been able to take the time to comb through games the way I used to.

A mixed blessing...

[Pat Coleman]

Exactly.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I guess I should be the one doing that then...
