GRR: Men DI Rankings
We've got another new #1 in our DIAA rankings.
Now, in the past we've had situations where a lower-ranked team has beaten the #1 team and not gone to #1. This has happened recently. In addition, those who are Dartmouth fans might—quite legitimately—point to the fact that Queens University lost to Army, and Dartmouth beat Army, so why shouldn't #2 Dartmouth move up to #1?
This week's Power Index we see a few power shifts and some changes.
With GRR getting more involved in voting for the DIA rankings, we're keeping this ranking clear of any teams not considered for it.
So all you see here is how we voted for the official DIA rankings. First off, here is the official Top 25:
Not a lot of change in the rankings this week, but there is one big shift, with Mary Washington bumping up to #1.
With Dartmouth idle and and Tennessee not in a game we expected much from, UMW beating #12 Mount St. Mary's was good enough to get the unbeaten (in DIAA) Mothers to the top. For now.
This could be the Year of the Road Warrior.
Each week, we’re spotting interesting quirks in our model. This week, the quirk is away-team performance.
Based on the 361 matches we have logged this year, both teams have an equal match rating the away team has a 51.6% probability of winning. As number nerds, we are eager to find out why.
