I'm not suggesting scoring margin alone solves the issue of ranking teams who ultimately don't play common schedule. However, truly am amazed by anyone who thinks that winning (or losing) by 10 is the same (i.e, provides same insight into respective rankings of teams) as winning (or losing) by one....

Apologies if this has been discussed above, but in taking margin of victory into account how do you incorporate different styles and pace of play? One can realistically imagine a team that is defense oriented and may only win their games by 2 or 3 goals but the outcome of the game is never in doubt...

haha. no, it wouldn't be highly unlikely. i follow uva basketball, and others, and i can promise you it wouldn't. it would be very likely. this sounds like about time i should mention that 3/4 of rpi measures your wins against the schedule you played. in 2024, that would prevent sacred heart from b...

Sadly, I am always reminded it isn't the 18 best teams that make the D1 lacrosse tourney. It is the 18 that qualify or picked. Forget Ivy situation (cause same thing happened to ACC a few years ago when Carc and Quint about had stroke's, live on-air), the seeding is a complete disaster. Uva seeded ...

Appreciate the good comments about scoring margin incentivizing teams to run it up, but, to me scoring margin matters alot. Seperating teams via RPI , how many 'good wins', etc is helpful, but, not every win - or loss - is the same. 5 or 10 goal margins tell us something more so than an OT game - w...

the field should be expanded by 8 teams , and the dates should be extended at least one week.When is the college BB championship , well into june right? Every year lacrosse fans want to expand the tournament. In many cases it's because a few teams were left out. To put it into perspective - basebal...

Brown needs an offensive minded head coach. John Crawley stands out to me because he played midfield in the PLL and had great success coaching the offensive at Notre Dame, Lehigh and is currently the OC at Hopkins. Daly's offensive coordinator was absolutely terrible in every aspect of the game and...

I am not sure I agree with your conclusion norcal... Lehigh wins with defense. I took a brief look at their statistics - opponents have only scored 174 goals over 16 games - pretty easy math. They have a face-off man with a mid-high 50's success rate - their goalie is at 51%. They average about 34 ...

I dont get the score differential hatred. I am not sure how you are supposed to judge the performance. This has proven wrong at every study of modeling sports, but each to their own. I agree that it is likely going to improve a model that is designed to rank teams. But I question whether the extra ...

From a statistical perspective, the issue to me isn't the RPI or Strength of Schedule (SOS) being used as individual composite variables. To me, it's the use of both in conjunction. The RPI is a strength of schedule indicator (opponent's win%, opponent's opponents' win%). RPI and SOS share signific...
