Method

Read against .

  • Expected is an offense and a defense a team, fit over every game of its season between two teams in the table with the game being read left out, minus 2.1 in 2025, minus 1.4 in 2026 for the home team (the edge the fit finds once strength is in), nothing at a neutral site.
  • Bryant, Sacred Heart, Stonehill, Sacramento State, Ball State have no other game in the table, so those games have no expected number and sit out the second figure.
  • Who played is read from the schools’ box scores’ participation lists for 20 of these 21 games; in the other game a player is counted as in it when the box score has a stat for him.
  • 4 games in 2024 are neither with Elijah Faulkner nor since Elijah Faulkner’s last game: Elijah Faulkner had no game for the team that season, and sit out.
