Massey picked 37 correctly and missed on 11. That is a 77% success rate without seeing any of the teams play or knowing anything other than their previous scores against opponents and their opponents scores against other teams, and so forth.

The question now is why did it miss? With Port Isabel vs. Orange Grove, Liberty Hill vs. Navarro, Bellville vs. Giddings, Center vs. Bullard, and Silsbee vs. Huffman, those were a toss-up, which could go either way (statistically, I am not saying those winning teams were not superior.) But according to the data and the way Massey computes it, they had performed in an even manner for the year with a nearly equal probability of one winning over the other.

Sinton, on the other hand, was a two TD favorite over Sweeny, but Sweeny won by 4 TDs. Wimberley was heavily favored over Taylor, but won by a TD in two overtimes. It makes you wonder if there is more to the story than Sweeny or Taylor getting hot this weekend.

I think Massey's is an excellent indicator...but only ONE indicator. Regarding Taylor v. Wimberley....there is no way Massey's could have measured the great surge Taylor had in the last few weeks, the momentum they brought into the Friday night game. This is a big part of the game, unmeasurable by stats. So, I think taking Massey's into account, then studying and being aware of the intangibles (surging teams, injuries, etc.) is the besty indicator to get predictions up to the 90% range. Dunno if 90% is even possible though.

The Columbia-Rockport score is incorrect. It should be Columbia 31, Rockport 15. Never mind. I read it wrong!
