Damn. There went the shutout.
i read the issue is that removing the preseason component still makes the model less accurate. the guy who runs sp+ did say that the covid season and the presence of super seniors was screening with the model. any model is probably gonna be less accurate this year as a whole because the preseason inputs are more susceptible to outliers than usual.
Less accurate compared to what? Actual head to head results or rankings with the same baked in bias?
