So what are the plays based on system? Seeing too many posters tweaking it.

 

[midnight7812]

Sounds good but what are the plays?

 

[In2Sports]

If I understand this correctly
Team - Power rating - strength of schd
Penn St/56/61 vs BC/42/47 - Play BC
Cincy/50/93 vs Va Tech/51/48 - Play Va Tech
Colo St/48/98 vs UT/31/27, Play UT
Duke/45/81 vs Arz St/25/36, Play Arz St
Neb/27/62 vs USC/16/29, Play USC
Boise/33/73 vs Arz/30/28, Play Arz

I have Utah, BYU, N.C. State, Virginia Tech, Boston College, USC, Arizona, Baylor, and Arizona State. That is how I saw it. BYU is still a play even though their SOS was higher than 60.

I have these also, plus Illinois over La. Tech.

 

[HotRocks]

I have:

Baylor
USC
Arizona
Illinois
Ariz St
Utah
VT
NC St
BC

BYU would NOT be a play cause they are themselves a top 60 team but Memphis is worse (Of the top 60 Sagarin-rated teams, FADE EVERY team ATS whose strength of schedule rating is 60 or worse unless they are facing a team whose SOS rating is even lower than theirs)

 

[dtmad]

I believe Memphis is the go AGAINST. The play is ON BYU. Memphis is a top 60 team with a SOS worse than 60 and worse than its opponent's SOS. "lower" is a bad word to use. The intent is "worse".

I posted the plays initially. There seems to be confusion on BYU/Memphis and Ill/LT. Based on past plays, we still play against LT and Memphis as they are top 60 and an SOS that is worse than their opponent.

the plays this year appear to be fading:

Michigan St
Nebraska
Boise
LaTech
Memphis
Duke
Colorado St
Cincy
PennSt
UCF

i used Sagarin ratings from here

Therefore we play ON

Baylor
USC
Arizona
Illinois
Ariz St
Utah
VT
NC St
BC
BYU

Has anyone broken this system down to games with teams in the top 25 vs teams that are not ranked........

 

[coachH]

Why is Florida not a play against East Carolina?

Why is Florida not a play against East Carolina?

i show ECU being ranked 64 and not part of the top 60 system

 

[bank--it]

Bump

 

[sendacash]

i show ECU being ranked 64 and not part of the top 60 system

The "system" was created when there were 120 teams? Now there are 128, maybe bend the rules a little bit?

 

[Smartypants32]

So is the system this season 1-0 with the Utah cover ?

 

[achokshi]

1-0 yep

i like this idea in general.... unfortunately i'm grunching so haven't read entire thread.

how has it done the last few years? i see that it did well at start of thread (2008?.... and i think OP knew of it because it had done well) and here at end of thread.
