Sagarin ratings are updated, so you can Predict a Sectional.

HH Patriots vs. HH Patriots (Heritage Heights and Hills almost happened in 2003, I understand, but Heritage Hills picked up Mt Vernon (Fortville) for one year.)

Not sure he'd be willing to give those 1.2 HFA points at Yellig Park this year.

You can make a real sectional as well...

The ihsaa should allow cooping

Updated through Week 7. I'm surprised this isn't more popular!?

Sorry. I reread. You are using John Harrell. I posted Jeff Sagarin. My bad.

I think your lines are a bit off. Are you using the updated ratings for Week 8 and are you using the Predictor value, not the rating value? 2025 Ev. Reitz is a 36.5-point favorite hosting 2025 Ev.

I added this feature to the Predictor Tool called Predict a Tournament. It allows you to simulate up to an eight-team tournament using current Sagarin ratings. Note: There is no homefield advantage factor because I didn't think it was needed. Also, you can include byes by leaving a field blank. Enjoy!

Congratulations to the Titans. You were the better team tonight.

And we're off... Shots fired!

Jeff Sagarin Prediction Result: 2025 Heritage Hills (Raw: 80.0) is a 3.5-point favorite vs. 2025 Gibson Southern (Raw: 75.0) with a 1.5-point HFA. Win probability: 2025 Heritage Hills 56.68%, 2025 Gibson Southern 43.32%.

The Pretties vs. The Uglies ... I like it (with a conference championship week).

Speak or ban cancelled!

I added the ability to predict between years. The math is pretty solid (I just compare each team to the mean for a given year). 2024 Ben Davis (Raw: 93.4 / WinsM: 45.4 / Norm: 123.0) is a 10.0-point favorite vs. 2025 New Palestine (Raw: 90.2 / WinsM: 52.4 / Norm: 112.8) (no HFA). Win probability: 2024 Ben Davis 68.3%, 2025 New Palestine 31.7%. Note: Predictions are rounded to the half (0.5) point. Matchup comparisons use normalized ratings (Raw Predictor - Year's Winsorized Mean) and apply home-field advantage, if selected, and averaged if years are different). Updated thru: Week 14 — September 14, 2025

Back to the home team being favored by 1.2 points after four games (all is right with the world now, so I can sleep again).

No more talk than this?!? Spill the beans!

Yes and updated through Week 4 of 2025!

Sagarin: 2025 Jasper (Raw: 71.0 / WinsM: 55.5 / Norm: 90.5) is a 31.5-point favorite vs. 2025 Ev. Bosse (Raw: 39.3 / WinsM: 55.5 / Norm: 58.8) Win probability: 2025 Jasper 91.82%, 2025 Ev. Bosse 8.18%. 2025 Castle (Raw: 73.2 / WinsM: 55.5 / Norm: 92.8) is a 31.5-point favorite vs. 2025 Ev. Harrison (Raw: 41.5 / WinsM: 55.5 / Norm: 61.0). Win probability: 2025 Castle 91.82%, 2025 Ev.

Mater Dei (Raw: 72.3 / WinsM: 55.5 / Norm: 91.8). Win probability: 2025 Ev. Memorial 62.22%, 2025 Ev. Mater Dei 37.78%. 2025 Ev. Reitz (Raw: 70.7 / WinsM: 55.5 / Norm: 90.2) vs. 2025 Ev. North (Raw: 70.6 / WinsM: 55.5 / Norm: 90.1) is predicted as a DRAW. Win probability: 2025 Ev. Reitz 50%, 2025 Ev. North 50%.

So one thing I noticed while updating the Predict a Matchup Tool (shameless plug, I know), is there is currently negative homefield advantage in Jeff Sagarin's latest ratings. It's less than 0.2 points (0.15, actually) after three games. This means that the visitors have, so far, outscored the home teams. Historical data says it's not likely to remain that way. Still interesting, nonetheless!
