That's only the second largest man made hole in the world. I wonder what kind of crazy math they tried to do in Utah that they ended up with a bigger one?

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
I thought the GPI was an aggregate of rating systems and poll results.
Bascially, D2 gave you points based on your wins-losses weighted by the opponents's record. They also gave you more points for playing a team in your region.
There is just no way that a committee of coaches and athletic directors is ever going to come up with something decent. If they make then attempt and want it to be transparent, then I hope they publish their methodology so it can be run on prior seasons. "Oh look, Harvard and Lehigh are the #1 and #2 seeds!"

I agree. I'm not confident they're going to get to a better answer. On it's face an SRS looks good but there's plenty of room for them to manipulate the weights that would effectively neuter the system. (example: you could treat every win, no matter the opponent or score as a 7 point margin, plug it into your SRS calculator and you'd get the same junk answer D2 used). Whatever they do they absolutely need to publish the methodology.
