Probably could use something like this for looking at sports teams.
- LanceH 6y agoI've done this with various sports. In particular college football. The ratings were highly accurate compared to polls, except for undefeated teams not from major conferences. The polls involving humans would punish them terribly for not having the right pedigree. I also rated the whole season simultaneously as it's my opinion that a ranking should be based on the performance in a season versus a power ranking of who is best now. By my calculations, the people choosing teams for the playoffs are either stupid or corrupt in the sense of not treating all teams fairly. It's a popularity contest.
