You have mocked this rating over and over and over and over again. Now you post it.

Why the change? (As if we don't already know. LOL)

Northwestern 9th, behind the likes of Blue Springs Missouri. What an embarrasment for calpreps. The computer is programmed to rate Florida programs a few notches below other states. So, MNW goes and beats SLC in Dallas and the only possible outcome is to dis SLC. Crediting a team from Florida just is not an option no matter the circumstances. What a POS program.

To emphasize my disdain for the notion of putting stock into calpreps and computer ratings in general, I will point out that the calpreps project a matchup currently has Lakeland beating SLC. And I still say the whole thing is worthless. I don't mind them coming up with the program in fun. But, when people take seriously how they rate teams and what the project a matchup says, it is ridiculous. Some proof of that is how they project SLC-MNW. A couple weeks after MNW beat SLC in Dallas, the computer had SLC beating MNW by 3. A couple weeks later, that has expanded to a six point margin for SLC. All when we actually have record of the head-to-head matchup won in Dallas by MNW by 8. LMAO

Another gem on that site is Miami BTW projected to win at Summerville 28-19. Anybody watch that game back in August? I don't seem to remember it being much of a contest.

To consolidate and summarize, here is what we have right now(from another board):

More evidence is surfacing which illustrates how something in the programming of the calpreps computer arbitrarily diminishes Florida teams.
1) The three point margin SLC was favored over MNW has expanded to 6. (In reality, MNW won in Dallas 29-21)
2) Miami BTW is now projected to beat Summerville 28-19. (In reality, BTW won AT Summerville 36-3).
3) Byrnes is favored to win 31-14 over Dr. Phillips (In reality, Byrnes scratched out an 18-14 win).
4) Berkeley is favored by 26-14 over First Coast(In reality, FC won at Berkeley by a FG)

Something is terribly wrong when factors outside of head-to-head competition carry significantly more wieght than said head-to-head competetion. I don't know what the flaw in the programming is or how it happened to be in the program, i.e. programmer bias or just random flaws.
