updated with like 2 days ago data i think it was. i can't remember if that would catch whatever world just wrapped up the NT where OK pulled the upset win as the 6 seed, but you can tell if you compare the most recent season.
in world 3, it felt like a mass desertion, the level of BCS teams open, I have never experienced. but it only dropped 2, which didnt make sense. but what does make sense is that the posted world pop is for the season that concluded - so whatever drop off occurred last year, it actually won't show in the numbers until this season ends. i could modify the logic i guess to calculate pop data for non-complete seasons but that might be a real pain, the whole program is geared around only taking complete seasons to do dynasty lists and longest streaks and stuff - half seasons are 100% worthless - not sure i can make an isolated change on that, easily, at least. so, i guess i shuold have stuck to the plan to rerun it in a while.
i just did a manual count of rupp (easiest way if anyone wonders for their world - go to teams by rpi, sort by coach, copy paste all the humans into a spread sheet and see how many rows it is) - we dropped 10 coaches from last season to this season. i guess that was mostly BCS coaches. will be interesting to see if that continues.
