Sunday, November 2, 2014. Rankings through November 1, 2014. The SEC continues its domination of our rankings with 5 of the top 7. It will be interesting to see if the SEC can somehow get two teams into the four team playoff. If so, there will be some unhappy people either in the Big 12 or Big 10 I'd imagine.

Sunday, September 28, 2014. Rankings through September 27. I forgot to mention last week, but I want to say a big thanks to Peter Wolfe for his nicely formatted score data.

The Prince of Slides. Sports. Statistics. Economics. And a naive junior faculty member pretending to know more than nothing about something. Thursday, July 18, 2013. Advanced sab-R-metrics: Parallelization with the 'mgcv' Package. Carson Sievert (creator of the really neat pitchRx.
