[QUOTE="BretMyBeachHouse, post: 1915632, member: 747827"] I'll applaud the nice effort. But overall, not how I'd approach it. First, far too heavily weighted to regular season. Second, total wins and tourney wins are too linear of a number. Each successive step gets tougher. Third, AP Rankings should be weighted toward the end. Recently, someone said that our preseason rankings in the top 25 for four years straight was unprecedented (I think this was the case). I couldn't believe it, but it was accurate. We had years in the 80's and 00's where we started out unranked but finished ranked. That's really the only measurement that matters. Thanks for the work. I'm guessing this is in a format that would allow you to tweak formulas if you wanted. [/QUOTE]
