Massey picked 5 out of 6 for 83%.

Through the first 4 rounds Massey picked the winners 75 games out of 90 for 83.33%. With only 4 games remaining, the worst Massey could end up, ie. missing the last 4 games, would be 79.78%. My guess is Massey will pick a couple of these last 4 correctly.

What's the point of all this? One, it has shown the math model to be pretty good at what it does. If it picks you to win, it does not say you will win, just that the odds are in your favor, and the higher the odds, the better your expected result. Secondly, it looks to me that if Massey says, based on your teams performance you have a good team, you have a good team.

This late in the year, with all the data at hand, Massey reveals a pretty good picture of Texas football. Look you your teams Strength of Schedule and the rank of the teams you played to get a picture of where you are and how much stronger you might need to be in order to move up next year.
