How are they different?  Too early and THUS less accurate today then what they will be later in the season.

Maybe I am not understanding what you think is silly, but seems pretty clear to me.  Similar comments made by Palm, Sagarin, Massey over the years.

C'mon, Cheeks. Just because Pomeroy might be MORE accurate later in the season doesn't mean it's TOO EARLY for it to be useful now. Isn't complicated at all, really.

Still too early for Pomeroy in my opinion, but let's go with the predictions for the Big East.  Very tightly bunched.  Going to be a war.


Butler  11-7
Seton Hall  11-7
Villanova  11-7
Marquette 10-8
Xavier 10-8
Georgetown 8-10
Depaul 8-10
Creighton 8-10
Providence 7-11
St. John's 5-13

just pointing out that mathematically this isn't possible.  The wins and losses don't add up

 I said I think it’s too early, too much movement still, but sure it has some directional usage...it just gets better with more games played.  I agree, not complicated.

It doesn’t, it’s just the average. By the way, if you look at most similar resume on Trank it’s last year’s MU team. If you look at most similar style it’s also last year’s MU team.

I don’t know...there are lots of sources...I suppose we could line up Massey, Sagarin, and the 50+ others that are out there....but how are you going to judge?  What criteria? 

I’m sorry you think this is an issue of density....to answer your question on any given night I have seen Sagarin say a team should win, while Pomeroy says they should lose or win by less.  Because sports are actually played and not done by a computer algorithm, one site can be better in that given game than another in predicting.  Often many of the sites directionally correct (or wrong).  So I don’t know how to answer your question because unless someone is out there examining every game and comparing against all the various systems out there, none of us know what is better.

I like KenPom, use it often.  I like KenPom more in January than in November.   

Good day.

Up another spot today to #23. Think we hopped over San Diego State who needed a last second three (and well contested one at that) to beat #317 San Jose State at home. They were 29 point favorites.

I’m pleased you’ve back tracked on your comments & really meant, “I believe Pomeroy gets better later in the season, but it may be as good or better than any other source.”

That’s reasonable (albeit obvious that one may believe a predictive model becomes a bit better with more data).

JayBee, we've already had this discussion and there is no backtracking.  I said similarly the same thing Nov 25th...and you responded to it.

https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=59234.msg1175551#msg1175551

Similar things said in the past here.  Really not sure what the trouble is.  I'll restate, I like Ken Pomeroy's stuff, I just like it BETTER after January.  I like a rare steak, but I like a medium-rare steak BETTER.   :)   It's not a matter of which system is better at the moment, though I'm sure there are some that could make the argument, it's simply the lack of data points still this early in the season.  It's what I've said consistently about these rating systems this early in the year...baskteball...football...doesn't matter.

“I like it now but I like it better later” is far different than “it’s too early”. Glad you have recanted!

It’s too early to put a ton of stock into it, as the data points are sparse.  No recanting, no need to.

Earlier it was simply "too early for Pomeroy". Period. Now it's too early "to put a TON of stock into Pomeroy". The two are not the same. Fact.

So you put stock into NOTHING, or is there some secret great source? AP certainly isn’t it.

Are you saying you don’t know much of anything until January at least, but kp might be as good as anything? That’s fine. (Just not “too soon”)

No, I put less stock into something not fully baked like Pomeroy, Sagarin, etc, etc, as more data makes the ratings stronger and more holistically solid. 


They are not without value now, nor did I say that.  But they are MORE valuable to me later in the season. 

On day one of the season, I think all these ratings have big holes.  That changes a bunch over a number of weeks.  You reach a point by February that the data doesn’t move much for most of the teams. 

Again, I don’t see what your point is.  Some value today...but somewhat limited because too soon...buyer beware...take with grain of salt.  Let it marinate, more data means better output and better informed in my opinion.  Nothing has changed on this from my perspective.

I often say it instead of cussing...it’s an old trick to avoid the swear jar that an old boss put into place years ago.  It is also something I hope happens....should we inventory all the things on Scoop that have nothing to do with the topic at hand?  Be a very long process.

You literally said, “it’s too early” for kp. But glad you’re changing that now.

PS - you are going to call all these ratings “holistically solid”?? Good grief
