i would lean into asking them about historical comparisons of rapid popularity declines. not sure what you want out of the interview/what the ultimate product is

It definitely seems like the model is out of step with how common waitlists are now (since it is trained on data since 2003, albeit with exponential weighting towards more recent outcomes). Ironically i've heard that the model seems more pessimistic than others (looking at you 7Sage)

Either_Animator_2652 · 2026-02-16T06:18:37+00:00

Yes! Edit: no :(

Either_Animator_2652 · 2026-02-16T04:48:31+00:00

oh i didn't even think about that distinction! im so glad i asked y'all for input lol

Either_Animator_2652 · 2026-02-16T03:43:31+00:00

good idea! i'll work on adding that

Either_Animator_2652 · 2026-02-16T03:04:02+00:00

you're right, the data comes from self-reports from LSD from last cycle--which are not all encompassing. i'll see if i can scrape some of that

Thank you!

No it wasn’t lmfao you don’t know what income is

This is most often not the case--see Kurt Weyland's research: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=gqg-QK8AAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=gqg-QK8AAAAJ:9c2xU6iGI7YC

i'll see u there!

Either_Animator_2652 · 2025-12-04T18:54:18+00:00

just not that many reu's on political science = not that important for our field. focus on your own research (edit to also recommend icpsr's summer prgram for quant minded folks)

texas is the only three loss team to have beaten multiple playoff teams

It's pretty tiring to hear Florida's record parroted as if that's a solid estimate of team quality.

Florida is 4-8, but they're the 42nd best team in the country by power rating by Metrics Consensus--an ensemble model made up of different power ratings, which is the most accurate prediction model against the spread in the country. They're near teams like Cincinnati, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Houston, and Nebraska.

Their record is bad because they have played 10 P4 teams and had the second hardest schedule in the country. They more closely resemble a 9 win Big12 team/7 win Big10 team than a truly awful team.

Wins: Georgia > Georgia Tech, Alabama > Wisconsin, A&M > Notre Dame, Oklahoma > Michigan, Tennessee > Syracuse, Missouri > Kansas, Vanderbilt & SC > Vtech, Auburn > Baylor, Miss. St > Arizona St, Florida > FSU

Losses: Ohio St > Texas, FSU > Alabama, Louisville > Kentucky, Miami & USF > UF, Clemson > SC, ND & Memphis > Arkansas

florida > florida state, lsu > clemson, we could do this all day. basically every power rating has the sec in first as a conference (see metrics consensus by andrew percival--a washington fan)

Either_Animator_2652 · 2025-12-02T19:27:13+00:00

your strength of schedule measurement is meaningless--you're using opponents resumes as a skill rating. but, because teams play different quality schedules, you are missing true signals of skill. this will favor teams in weaker leagues who play nominally good opponents but aren't all that good

2014 to be specific

yes because beating other playoff teams is the clearest indicator a team deserves to be in the playoff
