For the final edition of this post, prior to the final edition of this post, I thought I would take a look at the full season. Using Intermat's rankings from today to determine the current top 10 teams I traced their expected points back through time to the pre-season rankings. The gap at the top has grown significantly as the PSU freshmen first entered the rankings and then began to climb the rankings, growing from an expected lead over Iowa of 16.8 points to the current gap of 30.9 points. Meanwhile, the expected gap between #2 and #3 has shrunk from 14.8 to 10.2 While #1 and #2 have remained fairly constant, #3 and #4 have not. Ohio State, Cornell, Michigan, and Iowa State have each had dalliances with the podium positions, but with Nebraska's meteoric rise and Missouri's relative stability these two now occupy the expected podium positions. But that occupancy is not a foregone conclusion. The race for the podium has tightened up significantly. At the beginning of the season there was a 98% difference between #4 (52.1 expected points) and #10 (26.3 expected points). That is down to a 25% difference (48.8 vs 39.1). Per usual, I am only looking at placement and advancement points based on the historical results from 2010 - 2022.

Tease

Please don't tell me you are not angry, just disappointed. And at 8 am ion a Tuesday t was DEFINITELY the bourbon talking.

Welcome back.

That's just what Sanderson wants you to think. See, he got you, too?

They get many chances, especially in the current age of the transfer portal. Someone like Nevills would have been welcomed with open arms at the majority of programs. But it was his choice to stay at PSU. He did what he wanted to do. No shame in that.

Askren has complained several times on FRL that Sanderson won't spill the secret sauce. Maybe the Mirasolas are on a deep cover mission.

I can copy/paste fine, but all my numbers will be in base 9 from now on.

If you need a Dan fix you can visit BigRedBears.com Thank me later.

Start at 157 so that three of the last four matches will be for 3 or 4 titles.

Thanks for this. I was looking at the AA list from 2020 and was wondering what happened to Noah Adams.

Perhaps he meant Nick.

All digits intact. But to quote one of my kids, "it's not a project until dad is bleeding." One busted knuckle, so it's a project.

That man has skills.

Cornell.

Spent the day with the table saw instead of this. I win.

QED

Who jas CMU beat? Let's get rid of them too.

Those are management fees, not commissions. They get taken out of the assets of the fund.

@jross this is very sound advice. Returns are unpredictable, but fees are not. Which leads to the mutual fund recommendations above. They are all very high fee funds that have performed anywhere from meh, to very poorly. Fees range from 0.6% to over 2% for some of these. There is no coherent strategy involved either. Many are asset allocation funds that have large bond holding along with stock holdings, yet the suggestion is to hold some bond funds to get bond exposure. I wound not accept any advice you find here. Including my own.

Those yields are annualized, not period yields. So the 4 month return is 4.8/3=1.6%

I hadn't noticed that, but you are spot on.
