D3 QWI Quality Win Tracking thru Oct 15 Matches

[ned3vball]

Matches through October 15th. Pablo Oct 14th rank. AVCA Oct 15th.
If you notice your team's score went down(or up) this reflects the changing Pablo values as the season has gone on. What was a great win in early September, might be turning out to be not so impressive, or vice versa. Only 7 days till the first practice NCAA rankings. Will be interesting to see how things differ.

Here are top Quality Wins teams broken out by region. As always, no animals were harmed, or NCAA selection criteria used,  in creating this rating.
Who did you beat in the Pablo top 100(and don't lose to people outside it)?

Top league scorer gets the pool A.
This accounts for 17 of 20 pool C bids. 18th: GL 9th Otterbein(16.00), 19th: CE 9th Wartburg(15.75), 20th: CE 10th Gustavus Adolphus(14.50)
Bid count by region: CE 7, GL 5, MA 2, MW 3, NE 0, NY 0, SO 2, WE 1

Scoring system for each match:
MV = Match Value, win: 4=Pablo 1-25, 3=Pablo 26-50, 2=Pablo 51-75, 1=Pablo 76-100, 0=Pablo >100. Loss: -1=Pablo >=101, 0=Pablo <=100.
AF = Home/away factor 0.50 if away win, 0.00 if home or neutral win
RF = Region Factor 0.50 if inter region match, 0.25 if non conference in region, 0.00 if conference match. (all UAA matches rated as conference)
match score = MV + (MV * AF) + (MV * RF)

Hey Ned!

As you probably know I did a podcast yesterday on the teams that will most likely be on the regional rankings when they are published next week. Still a week out and things can change but an exercise that was primarily done based on two selection criteria - record and SOS. (Note - The SOS used is not the exact formula used for selection.)

I thought it might be interesting to compare my list with yours as it adds a quality of opponent factor that is missing from my work.

Here were the differences:

Central - I had listed 10 teams for the 8 spots. Dubuque and Wartburg would be eliminated from my list based on your QWI. The other 8 are the same.

Great Lakes - I had 9 teams for 8 spots. 7 are the same. I had DePauw and Otterbein where you had Hiedelberg. Hiedelberg's issue is that they have an SOS of 0.500.

Mid-Atlantic - I had 12 teams for 11 spots. We had 9 teams the same. I had Eastern, Elizabethtown and Southern Va. while you had Haverford and Marymount. Haverford is really close to the cutoff I used but Marymount's record was problematic. 

Midwest - I had 8 teams and we had 6 that were the same. I had Oshkosh and Platteville while you had La Crosse and St. Norbert. La Crosse's record is an issue while Norbert's SOS was low (although I do like them and it won't surprise me to see them regionally ranked).

New England - I had 14 teams for 12 spots and we matched on 11 of them. You added Amherst while I had Eastern Nazarene, Middlebury and Simmons.

New York - There were only 5 teams in this region that made my cutoff and all 5 were on your list.

South - I had 8 teams and we matched on 6. I had Guilford and Meredith while you had Sewanee and Bridgewater.

West - I again had 8 teams and we matched on 7. I had La Verne and you had Cal Lutheran. 

I would say when you look at my list and factor in our differences, you're looking at the regionally ranked teams in some order come next week.
