Which means too close to call in the statistical world. What is the standard deviation on your predictions Laz? Just wondering.

 

I would have to go back and calculate that for this season to be honest.  It's something I've looked at in the past and it generally stays around 7 - 10 points.  High School really swings that number a lot because there are a ton of blowouts throughout the year.  Typically, around 75%-80% of the lines are within one score of being accurate, there are some really extreme outliers though.

By week 15 its extremely acurate. But if a team blows everyone out and lets up, it don,t have an accurate reading.

That is correct, the biggest flaw in the state though is the connectivity between regions though. If everyone played two games outside of their region then it would be incredibly more accurate for the later rounds of the playoffs. Example of what I'm saying would be a team from East TN, plays a team from Middle and from West TN once during the season. It just doesn't happen in our state.

 

Take Division II for example, tons of connectivity throughout the season statewide. I just went 25-0 in the playoffs for IIA and IIAA combined.

 

That is why, more so than blowouts, connections are the biggest problem in our state.

 I,ve wondered about that but I figured it worked it way out  fairly good. Anyway you look at it ,its better than some opinion poll.Thanks for all the work, lots of us like seeing this.

Laz, I read you all the time but never post...I know you have drawn and do draw some haters/doubters but you're usually "on" and I appreciate your time

Trez is about the only team out there that don,t seem to have an accurate reading. I,ve looked at 3 different ratings and all have them at nearly a 2 TD underdog. I doubt very seriously that happens.

 

Yes, have my doubts.  They are the one team that is true to form with what you were saying about blowouts and not playing starters.

    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
