Preseason Prediction Performance

Post by nevadacat » Mon Nov 25, 2024 11:23 am

I went back and looked at the preseason polls.

The gris (Ha!) and Sac were the most over-ranked. NAU "overperformed."

School . Place . Coaches . Media . Avg Error
MSU … 1 … 2 … 2 … -1.0
UCD … 2 … 4 … 4 … -2.0
UI … 3 … 3 … 3 … 0.0
NAU … 4 … 7 … 9 … -4.0
UM … 5 … 1 … 1 … +4.0

EWU … 6 … 8 … 6 … -1.0
ISU … 7 … 10 … 8 … -2.0
WSU … 8 … 6 … 7 … +1.5
PSU … 9 … 9 … 10 … -0.5
CP … 10 … 12 … 11 … -1.5
SSU … 11 … 5 … 5 … +6.0
UNC … 12 … 11 … 12 … +0.5

(Wish we could do fixed width fonts.)

It’s the curse of the Big Sky Preseason poll. You get picked to win it, 99% of the time you won’t.


Punters are people too!!

Would be cool to see the preseason prediction thread from this board. I know a lot of people whiffed on MSU big time.


MSU - 16 team National Champions (most recent 2024); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

It’s not much but ISU’s improvement was huge. Right up until they melted down against Eastern.
