Bracket Notes
Posted by GJE in Uncategorized on January 25, 2011
At the conclusion of last season, I made some changes to the S-Curve Formula to more accurately predict and seed the at-large tournament teams. Unfortunately, because of these tweaks the formula is now over-valuing Strength of Schedule early in the season. I’ve been working on a fix for this problem and starting today I am using the new in-season formula to hopefully fix this issue. Because of this, teams with poor records but a high strength of schedule (USC, Cal) are less highly valued in the rankings.
