Games of Interest, Tuesday 12/29

Jake Kelly had 3 points, 2 assists, 0 rebounds ..

Indiana State's Jake Kelly suffered a serious knee injury in the 2nd half last night, described in one report as a medial collateral ligament injury.
These types of injuries are generally treated without surgery, and require rest, time, and therapy...probably keeping Kelly out 2-4 weeks, and at least 4-6 games.

Some of the talk on the Indiana State board is that they should just call an end to Jake's season now and pursue a medical redshirt...

BUT---- again, quite a misunderstanding of the NCAA rules...Jake is NOT eligible for a medical redshirt, as he has already played 12 games.....
that's 40% of Indiana State's scheduled games this seaosn, and unfortunately for Jake, any consideration of a redshirt this year is quite an impossibility!

I find it hard to believe that 305 is accurate (I know it is accurate per their site, but it seems off)... they have played 3 teams with an RPI of 304, 319, and 325. But they have also played Pitt and TTU with an RPI of 29 and 34... Then there are 3 teams in the 100's and 3 teams in the 200's... I dont see how the comes out to an SOS of 305... I know there is more that goes into it, but something seems off...

Never mind, I figured it out.

There's 2 SWAC teams on that schedule.

Terrible.
 
Doesn't Sagarin also use things in his formula like margin of victory/loss, and the previous season's record?

I am not 100% sure but I know his formula is different then most- I am just not sure why... it might be that his is a predictor of the end of season results- not sure though... But I am pretty sure the selection committee uses his rankings...

I believe you are correct in that the NCAA Selection Committee looks at the Sagarin Ratings as well as other things (including the RPI - which IMO Jerry Palm's site is the best and most accurate RPI site).

I believe he only uses the previous season's record in the beginning of the year until the current season has enough results to give you reasonable results. Right now I think his site has a little tag that says the ratings are based only on results from this year and have no effect of last season.

He does use margin of victory. Basically, he calculates two different rating indices... One is the way chess players are ranked, in which winning and who your opponent is are the only things that matter. The second is where the margin of victory is the only thing that matters. He then uses some kind of system to combine those rankings into the "sagarin" ranking. I personally like paying close attention to the chess portion of his rankings.

Northern Iowa 60
Creighton 52

wanna see something funny.....although we've seen the same thing here...

Creighton loses ONE Valley game, and the threads start over on the Bluejay board about firing Dana Altman...
but here's the really weird part, they have even begun to discuss who are the best candidates for their next coach, as if it's a done deal that Dana is gone! (some may be in jest but some appears serious!)
One guy even suggests Quin Snyder!
