Computer First-Round Predictions

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

from http://nationalsportsrankings.com/index ... m_oneonone


SC State over Furman - 52% (20-19 avg. score)
Coastal over BCU - 58% (33-31)
UNH over Lafayette - 94% (35-19)
SHSU over Suutah - 88% (30-17)
SDSU over NAU - 62% (24-21)
Samford over Jax St. - 56% (29-28)
Fordham over SHU - 94% (36-22)
TSU over Butler - 86% (28-20)



I'm surprised to see SCSU/Furman that close, since recent trends don't seem to be given extra weight by this site. That would also explain why SHSU/SUU is that lopsided. I also figure Fordham/Sacred Heart will be much uglier than the expected average. The computers are likely underestimating NAU's home-field advantage, as well.

Can't find information on how well that system is performed in the table at http://www.thepredictiontracker.com/ncaaresults.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . The table deals with FBS games but I think it still gives an idea as to how well models do at prediction.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

WOW. They think SHSU will blow out SUU?

Is this same system that said CCU had a 68% of beating CSU?

I'm pretty sure everyone in existence thought CCU was going to beat CSU.
