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 1.5 in 2024-25, minus 1.4 in 2025-26 for the home team (the edge the fit finds once strength is in), nothing at a neutral site.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 90% in 2024-25, 90% in 2025-26 of the difference the model predicts.
  • The shuffle keeps the season’s shape: the games are cut in two where one date leaves the least variance, each game is read against its stretch, and the sides are shuffled only inside each stretch.
  • Northwest Indian, Walla Walla, Northwest Indian, Evergreen State, George Fox have no other game in the table, so those games have no expected number and sit out the second figure.
