Naismith D2 Season 103 Topic

Here are the dynasty rankings (with alblack to thank for the influence) for season 103. For anyone unfamiliar with how these are put together, they use the last 5 seasons and only measure NT and PI success. Wins, CT titles, RPI, SOS don't factor in. We'll be starting the 1st edition of the non-con tourney in a few days.

We will get that corrected after this season Arfy

Well dang, I was number 1, but that loss to N. Colorado in the Elite 8 dropped me to #2. Guess I'll have to try to take back the top spot this season

No chance I'm holding on to the top spot after this season, Berg. I think you, CSUS, and ACU all have a shot to dethrone me.

With the 5-season window we use, it isn't just what you do this season, but also the season that falls out of the 5-year window. For N Colorado, there will still be 2 title games, 1 F4, and 1 E8, with a S16 falling out, so they should still be very close to the top even without a long NT run. This most negatively impacts W Chester (who won the title that year), N Kentucky, and Shaw in next season's rankings when season when season 98 is no longer included.

When I have more data, we can extend it out further than 5 seasons, though, if folks think that is better. I just used 5 seasons since that is what alblack did back in the day and it takes a little while to compile the data, so 5 years was quite enough.

...hey, don't go further than 5 seasons, I haven't been at Tiffin that long.

haha
