Summer Project

[Neil Leininger]

Over the course of the summer, I worked with ChatGPT to create a ranking engine based on four core principles.

1. Reume - Overall body of work in the context of schedule difficulty; Who did you play, and what did you accomplish against them?

2. Quality Wins - The valie of a team's strongest victories; How strong are the teams you defeated?

3. Dominance - How convincingly a team performs relative to opponent quality; How well did you perform, not simply how much did you win by?

4. Consistency - The stability and repatability of performance; Does the team consistently perform at a high level?

Now this isn't meant to predict future performance, it's meant to judge all teams equally against how they actually played. I try to minimize subjective influence, such as, preseason polls, recruiting rankings, brand recognition, historical prestige, media expectations, or perceived talent. Here are the Top 25's from the past 5 seasons.

Yes, I am a nerd.
