The Taiwan Dragons were suppose to get the crap beaten out of them by Singapore (according to these projections) despite the fact that we outlevel and outbuild them (no offense to Singapore) and then we beat them by 28?

Is there perhaps something wrong with the projections?

He just wanted to start it up and he acknowledged that they don't start to get accurate until mid-way through the season. It's just something fun to look at and try to beat and get some trash talking going.

There were only two regular season games used to make the predictions...

Yeah, but notice how the BCS doesn't come out until much later in the season?

I just don't get the point. We were supposed to lose by 70 to a team we beat by 28.

I'm befuddled.

That's because the BCS matters, so they're not going to throw out trash early in the season and rile people up.

This doesn't matter, so all it does is generate conversation and arguments, which is a good thing.

I am ONLY posting these now to try and get some POSTING in the conference forum. The conference forum was the worst I have been a part of. It has worked out some has it not?!?!?

Plus I need to do the work now, so I figured I would post it. There is no rules against that, you don't like it then don't post. Enough of us in here understand the projectors and have not bitched, so why do you have to?

Easy bruiser... this is just like Montana flipping out over the A4 all-pro teams two seasons ago. Some people feel disrespected because they have a fundamental lack of understanding of the process. Just keep posting the projections... they make for good conversation and they get better as the season goes on.

Spiel, the simulator doesn't have enough data to know whether a team is "good" yet. If a team is 1-1 with a close win and a blowout loss, they could be an average team who played one awesome team and one average team, or a terrible team who played one average team and one terrible team. Singapore had two close games and one blowout win for a 2-1 record; Taiwan had played three easy games against three teams who hadn't won a game between them. So the simulator had no idea whether Taiwan was a mediocre team who blew out terrible teams or a great team who blew out terrible teams; all it knew was that Singapore had beaten a good Guam team and barely lost to a good Vietnam team. Advantage Singapore.

Now the simulator's got a bit more data to work with, and Taiwan will be more likely to win in future projections. Not that it matters, since they're just projections anyway.

And Bruiser's right, this forum's pretty sad.

Relax. I'm not angry or trying to cause a stir. I'm just curious as to the point of doing it this early in the season.

If the point is simply to stimulate conversation, then you did your job.

It does feel great, of course, to defeat a team which has you out-leveled and had been undefeated. It is also frustrating for Beijing. We have a knack for defeating the top teams but not being consistent until the second half of the season. This has been our pattern in S4 and in S5. Hopefully Beijing will begin to put our win streak together now instead of waiting till the season is half over. Flipmode is a great team and we are fortunate to have escaped with the victory. Good game.

there will definitely be many upsets this season. this is only the beginning. the game was well played by you guys. cheers.

If you look at the OP, the writing before the predictions.

AGAIN, like I said in the league projector thing, RESULTS ARE NOT THAT ACCURATE UNTIL WEEK 7-8.

I just posted these for something to look at. The conference forum is pretty bad, so I was trying to bring it up a bit. More for people to talk about

no offense taken, I hadn't figured we'd win and thought we'd lose by 35 or so. At least we kept it to 28.

and Matta, considering I'd never heard of the GRE I guess I'll have to settle for the 1st option

GRE = what you get if you drop out of high school and go back and take a test. It can get you into colleges, not sure how many though , instead of a diploma

Not quite -

GRE = Graduate Record Examination. There is a general GRE (Analytical, Quantitative, and Verbal Reasoning) and there are subject specific tests for the sciences.

GED = General Educational Development. This is the test you take if you can't make it through high school.

figured out what the GRE stood for when i wiki'd it, but I didn't read too much in depth of what it really was....just wanted to know what it stood for

I had the privilege of taking it about 8 years ago. Makes for a long Saturday morning. However, it is a necessity for someone wanting to attend graduate school in the sciences. In fact, many schools require the subject specific GRE.

I'm RETARDED. My bad rowento, thanks for the correction
