[NU Sports] In need of a basketball expert

[Tom Maycock]

Couple things to keep in mind about the current Sagarin ratings:

1) It's early, so the ratings are not "well-connected" yet, which means that Bayesian priors are still in play. 

2) The more accurate "Predictor" rating has us at 39, rather than 19. If you really want to start predicting wins and losses, that predictor value is the stat to use, but it's too early to put much faith in the ratings.

Still, it's nice to even be anywhere near a top 20 discussion!
