  • Massey Ratings

    I saw these over on siouxsports, it has SDSU as the 15th best team in DII this year. I don't think the Massey Ratings are very accurate, but it's a nice thought. http://www.mratings.com/rate/cf-m.htm

    Re: Massey Ratings

    That is a very interesting site. SDSU was rated #154, NDSU#116, UND #118.
    We do seem kind of high, but consider this, a 1pt. loss to UND10-1, a td loss at Winona 10-1, loss at NDSU 8-3, UNO 8-3.
    We played a BRUTAL schedule, and we beat some good teams SCSU,NWMSU, etc...
    When I looked at the teams ranked around us in the Massey poll- I felt that we could play with all of them.(1A, 1AA, and D2).
    Maybe it isnt so far off.

      Interesting but confusing. I had no idea that this even existed. Thanks for the post.


      and who in the world has the time and patients to compile all of that?

          It doesn't seem Massey holds up too well, considering it contradicts the outcome of several head-to-head games.

          Here's a rating just for I-AA that I like better. It didn't include Northern Colorado or UC Davis, unfortunately.

            Massey is quite the ratings expert...him and Sagarin are contemporaries and equally respected (Sag for I-A and Massey for the overall).  The comparison page is a catch-all for computer ratings.  The GPI is the rating system for I-AA.  It is done like the BCS (polls and computer mix + strength of schedule) and is used as a guide for the I-AA playoff selection committee to determine at-large playoff selection.  Massey's work should not be dismissed as not accurate.

            Final regular season GPI:
            14. N Colorado
            25. UC Davis
