    Would NDSU's ranking be significantly higher if they hadn't (seemingly) let up in the 2nd halves of these last 2 games, or once you get beyond a 3 score margin of victory, does the significance drop off?

    (I'm hoping we have just let off the gas in these last 2 games and it isn't going to occur in closer games.)

    Sagarin doesn't reveal the details of his algorithm so it's hard to say for sure, but given that the standard deviation around a particular predicted winning margin is about 14 points, I'd be shocked if any blow out capping features kicked in as soon as a three score margin of victory. It's a safe bet that if NDSU won by more their rating would be higher.

    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 just watched Coyote Corner and Youngstown didn't look that great. Most of their points were from coyote turn overs in the red zone. Made me feel way better about crushing them later in the year.
