College Football Power Ratings Review

-
Last August, before I had this blog, I made pre-season college football power ratings. I have decided to revisit these ratings to see how I did. I'll score it by the following system:
Teams correctly picked in top 25: 1 point
Teams correctly picked in top 10: 2 points
Teams correctly picked within 10 spots: 2 points
Teams correctly picked within 5 spots: 3 points
Teams correctly picked within 3 spots: 4 spots
I'll use the final Sagarin ratings to determine how my ratings did. So here's my preseason ratings with the Sagarin predictor rating in parentheses:
1. South Carolina (13) 1
2. Stanford (5) 12
3. Florida State (19) 1
4. Virginia Tech (27) 0
5. Alabama (2) 12
6. Nebraska (25) 1
7. Oklahoma (4) 12
8. Arizona State (32) 0
9. Texas A&M (12) 12
10. Pittsburgh (68) 0
11. Missouri (16) 6
12. Air Force (57) 0
13. Oregon (7) 3
14. Florida (29) 0
15. Oklahoma State (3) 1
16. Mississippi State (35) 0
17. Northern Illinois (54) 0
18. Georgia (20) 10
19. Arkansas (9) 3
20. North Carolina State (66) 0
21. North Carolina (53) 0
22. SMU (51) 0
23. Nevada (48) 0
24. LSU (1) 1
25. West Virginia (24) 10
So I ended up with 85 points. I correctly picked 3 out of the top 10 teams, and 14 out of the top 25. I might post some more analysis about this soon, but that's all for now!

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texas/Xavier),  Stephen F.

The biggest game of the day on Friday was Northern Iowa's loss to Drake in the Arch Madness quarterfinals. I have kept the Panthers as the last team in the field for now, but it's going to be a long wait for them until Selection Sunday. Most of their resume comparisons haven't made the tournament, although their NET remains solid. A massive day awaits today, with nearly every bubble team in action. Updates will be daily from now until Selection Sunday. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  San Diego State 2:  Dayton ,  Florida State, Maryland, Seton Hall 3: Villanova, Creighton, Duke, Michigan State 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: BYU, Butler, Penn State, Iowa 6: Wisconsin, Michigan, Auburn, Colorado 7: West Virginia, Houston, Illinois, Virginia 8: St. Mary's, Arizona, Marquette, Oklahoma 9: Texas Tech, Rutgers, USC, Florida 10: Xavier, LSU,  East Tennessee State , Providence 11: Indiana, Wichita State, Texas, (Arizona State/Richmond) 12: (P

The last quiet bubble day of conference tournament week is done, with six more bids punched. Robert Morris moves into the field for St. Francis PA after their win in the NEC title game. I was supposed to be heading to Madison Square Garden for the Big East tournament tomorrow and likely up to Cambridge for the Ivy League tournament this weekend. I've cancelled my trip to New York, and the Ivy League tournament has been cancelled with Yale given the conference's berth in March Madness with their regular season title. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers 9: USC, Marquette, LSU, Providence 10: Florida,  East Tennessee State , Indiana, Texas Tech 1
