GRR: Rankings
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.
With the #1 team losing we have to have a new #1.
Adrian had a good chance to vault into that place but—as has been the case through a chunk of their season—they had an opponent cancel on them, and #2 Norwich beat a ranked opponent in convincing fashion. So it's logical that Norwich takes the #1 spot.
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.
Wasn't there an official DIA ranking already released; well yes, but there was a bit of an issue and it's so totally a 2021-22 issue.
