As much as I enjoy ScoreCzar's Northwest Hoops & Football computer poll, a couple predictions fell short tonight.
LC/SA -
Mt. Baker/PT +
Eat/UPrep -
Key issues where Freeman seems to be a bit better are the inclusion of non default values in Strength Of Schedule ratings for opponents outside WA/OR/ID and no lower end maximum. These would have probably bumped up LC's rating who had tourney losses to good CA teams. CPCs out of state tourney wins would probably have bumped up Eatonville's strength of opponent schedules as they have two CPC losses. I have not been able to key in on UPreps mysteriously high ranking, other than some of the teams they and SA play probably max out their low rating on the strength of schedule scale which inflated theirs and SA's ranking.
I have updated my week 10 poll thread with knocked out and regional locks, where UPrep became the highest ranked team sit out of regionals. Pumas are a good team that have to play their way through a competitive tri-district with little warm up other than Seattle Academy.
