Title: CPI (Chingon Power Index)
Post by: CHONGS on August 16, 2010, 11:45:42 PM
Hoo boy!  Well, I personally cannot wait to unveil the CPI for football this season, but alas, the Strength of Schedule component won't have any real meaning until about four weeks into the season :frown:.  To give a little bit of that CPI flavor though, I went through last seasons data and have the final CPI from 2009.  Here is some of that amazing DATA!

This only underscores that fact that the defense was not as greatly improved last year as many people think, rather we simply ran clock and limited the number of possessions.  More to come later....

Tell me who's going to be good this year.

This is not a poll.  It is a completely objective measure of merit.  In order to ready yourself for this year, you must first understand last year's results.

I'm not sure there is any understanding to be had within those results. If you could work the teams' primary uniform colors into their rankings, I think you might really have something.

Chingon, I was hoping you could use CPI to help me settle an argument with my friends. Could you run the following through the CPI-machine rank the them in order of superiority.

Waffle Fries
French Fries
Curly Fries
Steak Fries
Home Fries
Potato Wedges
Tater Tots
Hash Browns

In previous years of the CPI, you've indicated that the predictive capability of "The Index" increases as the season moves along, and increases from week-to-week at a macro level.  However, at a micro level (at the team level) it is subject to anomalies based on match-ups and quirky games.  How predictive do you estimate the first three games will be for KSU?

Excellent question Pete.

It will be pretty much garbage for the first game (no data yet, unless I use last years final data, which is not very good to do) and the second game will be too dependent on the first game.  The third game will be the first prediction that I would put any stock in.

When you have time, I'd like you to think about the predictive value of The Index for Farmageddon, based on each team previous opponents, etc.  I know a few "movers and shakers" associated with this event, and they are VERY interested in The Index as a barometer for this game.

It doesn't and doesn't attempt to.  This is only valid for the year of play.  The loss of any important players will be reflected in the accumulated statistics throughout the season.

I'm sure it has a simple explanation that I am missing....but why is it per 135 plays? Is there a reason this number is a good metric?

I used 135 because that is close to the average number of plays per game last season.  Obviously KSU was under that mark, but most of the BIG XII was quite up-tempo with all of the no-huddle and whatnot.  What's interesting is even with our slowed down tempo, our defensive efficiency was mediocre.  In other words, teams still scored fairly quickly against us when they had the ball.
