@anotherparent posted:One thing I've been wondering all year is, why are Boyd's and Massey's strength-of-schedule ratings so different from the NCAA's? Their overall rankings sort-of line up with what the NCAA does (and the coaches' polls), but not entirely.
Specifically for D3 baseball, the SOS is only based on in-region games and 2 levels of opponents' winning %. Massey and others are not limited to region and not limited to 2 levels of OWP. I think Massey also adds some weight for quality of win (e.g. score differential).
