re: List of SEC States by Poverty Rate
Posted by MStateDawg on 10/25/24 at 1:05 pm
Poverty rates can be misleading because the same income thresholds are used across all states without factoring in the cost of living.
If a married couple living in Jackson, MS makes $20K per year, they are considered to be below the poverty line.
If a married couple living in San Francisco, CA makes $25k per year, they are NOT considered to be below the poverty line.
The Jackson couple would certainly be poor, but the SF couple would literally be homeless.
Neither is good, but saying one lives in poverty and one doesn't is asinine.

but I wouldn’t expect it from Arkansas.
In the last 10 seasons, Arkansas has 2 winless conference seasons (0-8) and 2 more 1-7 seasons. They've had just one winning record (5-3 in 2015) in conference during that time.

Hands down it's Arkansas. Coastal had 1 insane postseason run but historically it's Arkansas.

I think it's going to take 15-15 for UGA and 16-14 for everyone else. State might even need 17-13.
State won't host at 16-14. They need to take 2 of 3 from Bama, 1 of 3 at Arkansas and 2 of 3 from Missouri to get to 17-11 and will get them some consideration. It'd be much better if they swept Missouri to get to 18-10.

2 games left. Both home games vs in-state rivals. Gotta do something to hopefully fire up the current players enough to put forth more effort and play with passion. This teams has looked checked out the past couple of weeks.

re: Alabama has the longest active win streak in baseball
Posted by MStateDawg on 3/9/23 at 12:28 pm
Alabama was yet to play a single opponent that currently has a winning record.
They have yet to play a single "Quad 1" game as measured by either RPI or ELO:

This weekend, they're hosting 1-6 Columbia for a series. I imagine SEC play will be a shocking wakeup call for Mr. Bohannon's club.

re: The Top 5 greatest college baseball programs of all time
Posted by MStateDawg on 2/2/23 at 10:26 am
Saying "easier roads" is also arbitrary. Once you get to Omaha, not only are you facing one of the best teams in the country, you are facing one of the hottest teams in the country. I don't think any game in Omaha should be termed as "easy".
I used this wiki to data source the numbers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_College_World_Series_appearances_by_team
If there was a metric I'd change about the algorithm, I would exclude college world series numbers from the wooden bat era. I believe 1974 was the 1st season colleges used aluminum bats. Thus I would prefer to exclude any CWS stats prior '74. Unfortunately, I don't have a dataset with those numbers and it would be a pain in the butt to go thru every team on the aforementioned listed and manual put together post 1974 numbers.

These lists are arbitrary.
Apply some algorithm and go with the data.
For example
(CWS Appearances + (CWS Title * 2)) * CWS Winning Percentage
Basically a point for making it, 2 points for winning it and that sum multiplied times the winning percentage of your appearances to award those that were most successful in Omaha.
Here's those results for every team with 5 or more appearances:
Southern California
Texas
Arizona State
LSU
Miami (FL)
Arizona
Cal State Fullerton
Stanford
Oklahoma State
South Carolina
Florida State
Oregon State
Minnesota
Oklahoma
Florida
Michigan
Mississippi State
Vanderbilt
California
Wichita State
Missouri
North Carolina
Arkansas
Virginia
Clemson
Rice
Georgia
Ole Miss
UCLA
Southern Illinois
Alabama
TCU
Western Michigan
Maine
Penn State
Tennessee
St. John's (NY)
Auburn
Louisville
Northern Colorado
Connecticut
Texas A&M
