Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 4, Final

Cincinnati over Arizona

I sort the teams by strength in this table, and Kansas City and New England nearly exactly swapped places. KC jumped up to the #9 spot, where New England was. New England fell one spot below where KC was, to #23. Chicago jumped up by 1 spot to #22 to let that all happen.

I noticed today I've been remiss in noting the first teams to reach certain milestones of probability, such as a 10% shot of winning it all, so those are below now, and backdated to the proper game day.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 4, Sunday

Cincinnati over Arizona

So...what's going on here? Cincinnati is the 2nd strongest team, and Arizona is 7th overall, 3rd in the NFC. Yet, I've got them favored to win their respective conferences. It all comes down to the weakness of their future schedule, as well as the tiebreakers they've pushed their way towards winning, such as division record. To be clear, in an Arizona vs Detroit or Dallas game, I would have Arizona losing. But, by averaging 100 million simulations, Arizona comes out atop the NFC 16.338% of the time, more than any other team, and likewise for Cincinnati in the AFC with 18.177% of the simulations. The long and short of it is that the projection remains the same for another day.

In Fantasy Football news, my Larry Donnell pickup led the way for both of my teams to basically clinch the week by the end of Sunday's games. I've also got Stevan Ridley playing tonight in both leagues, but his points will just be tiebreaker fodder.

2014 World Series Projection, September 29

Washington over Los Angeles

It's that time of year again, when my projection posts go into overdrive. This year, there's no tiebreaker game, so I had to figure out how to re-modify my software to not account for one. I'm a terrible software engineer sometimes.

STL0.5119100.0039.4114.605.25

The team strengths are much lower than last year. There was a significant drop in runs per team this year, from 675 to 659, which is part of how those strengths are calculated. The league average is still .500, but the teams are more closely packed together.

I'll mention the same caveat I did last year. Oakland is statistically the strongest team, but if they used their best starter in the wildcard game, they'd obviously be at a lesser advantage or a disadvantage in their first game against LA. These projections work better the longer a series goes, as they reflect the team's average performance in all games, something that can vary wildly from your ace down to your #5 - or even #3 - starter.

I'm actually a bit conflicted in the AL wildcard game. I like both teams, and would probably root for both against LA, although in the somewhat unlikely event the Cardinals make the World Series, it would be fun to see Pujols and Freese back at the scene of their 2011 win. I suppose I'll be a homer instead of a front-runner, and root for my home-state Royals tomorrow.

NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 5

Again, nearly every team moved this week. #3 Oregon and #113 Hawaii pulled off the bye-week stand, holding #3 and #113 without playing. The other teams to hold their positions, but while playing, were #41 Virginia, #118 Vanderbilt, #120 Appalachian State, #122 SMU, and #125 Troy.

This week is Nebraska's turn at the top. Other than week 1, when every 1-0 team is tied for #1, There has been a different #1 each week. Nebraska should solidify that spot with a win over #30 Michigan State, although an Oregon win over #17 Arizona, or the winner of #2 Texas A&M win and #9 Mississippi State could help one of them take the top spot.

Missouri's win over South Carolina vaulted them into my top 10, even though South Carolina is only #33 now. That probably speaks to everyone's tendencies to beat up on bad teams early in the year, making #33 a huge jump in quality of opponents.

Massachusetts has reclaimed it's bottom-of-the-pack position, losing yet again, this time to #61 Bowling Green.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 4, Thursday

Cincinnati over Arizona

Washington and New York are behind undefeated Philadelphia in the NFC East, so their game didn't really affect much last night. Philadelphia still has a 53% chance of winning the division, down slightly from nearly 56%, because Washington was actually the stronger team before the game. We'll see if the bye week for the two favorites helps San Diego or Philadelphia boost themselves up to the top of their respective conferences.

On a fun personal note, I had Dennis Pitta as my only TE in both of my fantasy football leagues. As you may know, he's was hurt in week 3 and is now out for the year. I chose to pick up Larry Donnell in both leagues, and boy, did it pay off. He scored 3 touchdowns last night, giving me quite the head start going into the weekend games. I'd like to claim I saw that coming, but it was pure dumb luck. I just grabbed the best free agent TE in one league, and the second best in the other, since I like keeping my teams similar when it doesn't mean picking a player too far down the list.

eBay Wins #142

Tonight's eBay lot is from 1990 Topps, which cost me 3 whole cents.

1990 Topps
#301 Don Aase
#312 Dan Quisenberry
#541 Pat Perry
When David Aardsma first reached the majors, I read that he became lexicographically first in the MLB record book, just ahead of Hank Aaron. I don't have that list handy, but I'd imagine Don Aase must be pretty close to 4th, after Aardsma and the Aaron brothers.

The other two guys fall somewhere in the middle of that list. Also, they both played for the Cardinals. I only recently posted my first Dan Quisenberry and Pat Perry cards, and now I've already got another card post featuring both of them. Both of them were on different teams on those 1988 cards, and they both were on different teams for 1990 than pictured here, Quisenberry with the Giants, and Perry with the Dodgers. Finally, 1990 was also the last season for each of them. It's not quite Kennedy-Lincoln, but that's an awful lot of coincidences, coinciding with the random cards I purchased on eBay.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 3, Final

Cincinnati over Arizona

It's still early in the season, but the inter-conference games still have a measurable effect on everyone's playoff odds. In fact, perhaps the effect is noticeable on everyone precisely because it is so early, and no one has completely run away with a division. There are actually no divisions that include both a 3-0 and 0-3 team, and some have only 2-1 and 1-2 teams, so the races are even closer than they could be. That means a chunk of each team's playoff odds include their chances at a wildcard, which are changed when one conference wins and another one loses in isolation, like when Chicago beat the Jets. The playoff odds for Chicago climbed by over 11 percentage points, which were all taken from the other 15 NFC teams. The Jets lost over 10 percentage points in their playoff hunt, and those were all meted out to the other AFC teams. Like every inter-conference game not involving the Rams, I was rooting for the AFC team last night, but they just couldn't pull it off, raising the bar just a bit more for the NFC Wildcard slots.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 3, Sunday

Cincinnati over Arizona

Houston and Carolina both lost this week, vaulting Cincinnati and Arizona into the favored positions. I will note for any of you who haven't been following along, that Cincinnati is not favored to win the AFC simply because they are the only 3-0 team. It would be feasible that a strong 2-1 team with a weaker schedule could be favored to win more of the remaining games and catch or surpass Cincinnati. But, Cincinnati has a very large ratio of Points For to Points Against, which also makes them the strongest team in the league, and the current Superbowl favorite

NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 4

Nearly every team moved around this week, except Alabama at #2, Louisiana-Monroe at #66, and Idaho and Troy at #124 and #125. Curiously, Louisiana-Monroe accomplished this in a bye week.

Missouri lost to Indiana, which not only dropped them 4 spots to #23, and just behind their St. Louis-area fanbase rival, Illinois, but it may have prevented the final nail in the coffin of the Big 10 - excuse me, B1G - as far as finishing with a team in the 4-team playoff. Michigan's loss to Utah certainly didn't help that cause, dropping them from #62 to #82.

At the bottom of the rankings, Massachusetts got a boost by losing to a much better team, #12 Penn State, and Kent State didn't play, swapping their positions this week.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 3, Thursday

Houston over Carolina

Atlanta nearly broke my projections with a ridiculous 56-0 win, but they let up and Tampa scored 2 TDs to make the game slightly closer to a realistic score. During the game, I was pondering adding in an attenuation parameter, which would make any blowout only worth a win by maybe 4 touchdowns, for strength calculation purposes. I suppose for now I'll let the 6 TD victory stand. Still, Atlanta may be vastly overrated at this point, as they are the second most likely team to make the Superbowl for the NFC. As it stands, they couldn't quite take over the lead from Carolina, so the projection holds steady at least until Sunday.

2010 Topps, Geoffrey the Giraffe Style

Does Toys R Us still use Geoffrey as a mascot? I don't go there often enough to notice, but I was there recently and noticed some clearanced baseball cards from the last few years. There were actually several products to choose from, but thanks to the wonders of smartphones, I was able to see that most of the prices could be beat online. I did opt to buy a $12.99 blaster of 2010 Topps, with Albert Pujols on the box.

2010 is special to me because that's the year I got back into card collecting. I was killing time walking around in a Target, and browsed the baseball card displays for the first time in many years. A pack of 2010 Series 2 looked interesting for some reason, and my 10 year collecting hiatus was over.

I managed to get 3 total Cardinals base cards, including future Cardinals John Lackey and Ty Wigginton, and Colby Rasmus in uniform. I was expecting 2 full packs of black base cards, as promised on the box, but wound up with only 9. I was surprised to see regular inserts also in those packs. I sort of buried the "hit" of the box in the middle of this scan, but it's a nice looking 40th anniversary patch. Also in this bunch are two looooong-expired Million Card Giveaway cards, and a Bob Gibson Legendary Lineage.

The 1993 Ozzie Smith from the Cards Your Mom Threw Out set was actually a big reason that first few packs in 2010 brought me back to collecting. I still have my original though, my mom knew better than to throw out my cards. I got another Cardinal here in Steve Carlton, though he's much better known as a member of the Phillies. I also got a card featuring Yadier Molina as a kid. Overall, this was a good blaster for Cardinals.

I never did get into Topps Town, and I'm still not really sure exactly what it is/was.

Topps Town Gold #FCTTT19 Justin Upton
Turkey Red #TR28 Mickey Mantle
Turkey Red #TR42 Ian Kinsler
In retrospect, I'd say the inserts in 2010 are actually not that good, except for Turkey Red, which I really like, enough that I'll probably add it to my long list of sets and insert sets I'd like to complete. Don't get me wrong, Babe Ruth and Ernie Banks are obviously all time greats, but the Tales of the Game design just doesn't grab my attention. There's also Topps Town Gold, which is probably like Topps Town, but...more Toppsy? I don't really know. Maybe it unlocked more on the site, or maybe they're just golden. I also grabbed one more Cardinal, Roger Maris.

In all, I think this was a marginal purchase, but I'm still filling in gaps in my collection, so these cards from right before my collecting phase 2 began were nearly all new to me.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 2, Final

Houston over Carolina

Since I don't really root for any team but the Rams, when there's an AFC-NFC matchup, I always root for the AFC team, to weaken the wildcard pool in the NFC. So, last night the Philadelphia comeback over Indianapolis was not what I was hoping for. Every other AFC team's playoff chances went up slightly, and every other NFC team's went down.

With the narrow victory, Philadelphia didn't increase their chances enough to overtake Carolina as the NFC favorite, so today's projection remains the same as yesterday's.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 2, Sunday

Houston over Carolina

With decent-sized wins, Houston and Carolina take over their conference leads.

The Rams pulled off a yawner of a victory due to a 10 second runoff, but I'll take it. They have climbed to 1-1, but unfortunately it was only a 2 point win, so their Superbowl chances actually dropped, to below 1%. Still, for now I can claim to have a better team than Jacksonville and New York, and to have better odds than Kansas City, Oakland, and Tampa

NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 3

My rankings tend to shuffle around near the top, and this week was no exception. LSU dropped from #1 to #4, and UCLA dropped from #2 to #8, despite both winning. Cincinnati finally played a game, so all 127 teams are now in the rankings. Massachusetts stayed at the bottom, because almosts don't count in my rankings. They very nearly won against Vanderbilt, but lost to go 0-3 and stay at the bottom. Vanderbilt, previously at #123, jumped all the way up to #115

Missouri held steady at #19, having beat a team that is now only 0-2.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 2, Thursday

Minnesota over Tennessee

I'm not sure that Baltimore and Pittsburgh are really the best and worst teams, respectively, but that's one hitch in my system. They've played twice as many games as all other teams, so their projected winning percentage is exaggerated twice as far from .500 as all other teams, for right now. This effect will lessen each week, and will only possibly be noticeable when one of the top teams plays Thursday or Monday. 

Even with their slight strength edge, Baltimore's week 1 loss has them behind Tennessee (and Houston, Miami, Cincinnati, New York, and Denver) for the AFC favorite.

For two days, and probably not again for the rest of this season, I can gloat to my friend the Steelers fan that the Rams are the better team...at least by these numbers.

Superbowl XLIX Projection, Week 1

Minnesota over Tennessee

Each year I project the Superbowl match-up after each day of games. The method is not of my own design, but the implementation is. Each team's strength is determined based on points scored and points allowed, and scaled to make the average team .500. Then, the remainder of the season and playoffs are simulated millions of times, and I report to you the chances of each team reaching each round of the playoffs. It's had mixed results in the past, but that's the nature of taking 1 weighted random sample out of millions of potential outcomes.

I could pretty much copy and paste from last year's week 1 notes, swapping in the correct teams
In week 1, the team with the biggest win is always atop the projections, and Kansas City Minnesota benefited from a complete domination of Jacksonville St Louis :( 
Philadelphia is right behind Minnesota for NFC champ, even though Seattle and Detroit are, for now, better teams. That's likely due to the losses by the rest of the NFC East, putting Philadelphia in a good starting position.

As for the Rams, I'd say it's time to put in Austin Davis and see what he's got, or make a zany trade for a proven QB. They currently sit in last place with the lowest chances of anyone of winning the Superbowl, barely over 1%.

NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 2

I'm always surprised when the teams separate enough in week 2 for me to actually have a distinct #1 and #2. In fact, there are very few ties through the ranks. There are 2-0 teams, 1-1 teams, 0-2 teams, 1-0 teams, and 0-1 teams, and I guess enough combinations of strengths of schedule to differentiate all these teams. On to the second-silliest rankings of the year: Week 2!
