Pythagorian Winning Percentage Projection (03/31/08)

Giving up those 15 runs on Friday certainly didn’t help PSU’s Pythagorian projections. They’re still mired in the basement. Conversely, scoring those 15 runs helped Ohio State hold onto first despite actually splitting this weekends games. OSU’s percentage actually went up while PSU’s went down.

In a week or two, I’ll be changing these projections to be based just on conference stats. The out of conference schedules are so disparate that using in conference numbers is really the only fair way to go.
