DoCho's Bowl Prediction Algorithm: Day 4
Posted on 12/26/13 at 5:00 pm
Posted on 12/26/13 at 5:00 pm
So I'm in the middle of adjusting my algorithm. I just added a SOS factor and am also altering some of the variables and resulting clusters and number of clusters. Im also going to add more data.
However, the new algorithm is incomplete as of yet. So Im using the older version.
The algorithm predicts Bowling Green to win by double digits or at least two scores. BGSU is a 7 pt favorite, so take BGSU to cover.
I want to post this pick before the game starts. Give me a sec to process the other game.
eta:
In the later game, Utah State is a 2 point favorite. My Algorithm predicts a Northern Illinois win by one score. Take NIU to beat the spread or to win straight up.

I like NIU but I also like to pick against teams with interim coaches so I'll take Pitt tonight in the other game.

Now I regret picking NIU

No offense, but MAC is horrible in bowl games. I'm not sure if your algorithm takes conference bowl records into account, but something to definitely think about.
NIU could definitely win, but I'll be going with Utah State and their defense.

Did the algorithm say BG was going to be down by 2 TD's and being totally outplayed by Pitt halfway thru the 2nd quarter?

Algorithm... more like lolgorithm

I suspect someone's that's into algorithms probably doesn't have lol factored into the equation.

I have BG by 14 and NIU by 16. I'm late to the thread, but at least you know I'm not lying about my BG pick

A 90+ KO return by BG was in the equation.

It's an algorithm, not a simulation. I think you are confused.

Adjust your sarcasm meter

As much as the first punt return for a TD by Pitt in 7 years

Your algorithm fricking sucks. The only thing it should be used for is an automatic fade.

I picked BG without an algorithm.

What's the overall record for the "algorithm" so far? Day 1 was 1-2, iirc.
