Took a look at the human polls and got an average ranking based off of those. Then took a look at the 4 primary sites people use as means to rank teams using statistical analysis ie : predictive analysis.Only looked at teams currently in the Top 25 in the polls. Most overrated teams by the humans and the amount the human polls overrate them are as follows:
1. Cincinnati- Bearcats are an average of 8th in the human polls and come in at an average of 21.5 in the computer polls. +13.5
2. San Diego State- Aztecs average 6.5 in the human polls and 18th in the computer polls. +11.5
3. Memphis- Tigers are 23rd average in human polls and 31.5 in computers ( lowest average of any top 25 team ) +8.5
4. Texas- Longhorns come in at 18th in the human polls and 26th in the computers. +8
5. St Louis- Billikens are a 10 spot in human land and 17.5 in the computers. +7.5
Most underrated
1. Ohio State- Buckeyes average 23.5 in the human polls yet are a solid 14th in the computers. -9.5
2. UCLA- Bruins place 24th in the human polls and 16.5 in the computers. -7.5
3. Wisconsin- Badgers come in at 17th in the human polls and 10th in the computers. -7
4. Creighton- Blue Jays rank out 11.5 in the human polls and 5th in computers. -6.5
5. Iowa- Hawks come in at 15th in the human polls and 9th in the computer analysis -6.
- Weird to me that the most overrated teams by the humans seem to be from lesser known leagues while the most underrated are, for the most part, from well known power leagues. Seems like CBB pollsters are favoring the little guy in their rankings now. Interesting.
