Talk:Jeff Sagarin

ELO -> Elo
I have altered "ELO" to "Elo", which is appropriate. It is not an acronym, it is a person's name. "Elo rating" is appropriate. "ELO rating" is not.

Just wanted to note that his USA pages don't include Elo Chess ratings anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.113.62 (talk) 03:12, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Changes in NCAA records book
While looking over the NCAA Records Books College football national championships selections, I notice Sagarin picks that change. Such as 1962 Alabama (1995 book), 1962 USC (2000 book), 1962 Ole Miss (2004 book). We should identify any changes in formula by Sagarin and different sets of champions, as was recently done at Billingsley Report.

Sagarin updates in the NCAA records books:


 * 1995 book:
 * Sagarin's first appearance. "1956–present"


 * 1996 book:
 * "1978–present" and "Predated national champions from 1938 and 1956–1977"


 * 2000 book:
 * Selection table now includes 1944–1955.
 * Bio still states 1978–present and predated for 1938, 1956–1977.


 * 2004 book:
 * "New in this book: Sagarin Ratings for 1919-present with ELO"
 * "The Sagarin Rating includes his actual rating that combines scores and pure won-lost records. Sagarin also now provides an ELO-Chess rating that uses only pure won-lost records, and is the one utilized in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) rankings."
