Big Ten Conference Pythagorian Winning Percentage
I’ve made a slight change to the charts that I’m using for the Pythagorian Percentages. Rather than tracking the change from week to week, I’m going to note the difference between the projected Pythagorian winning percentage and a team’s actual winning percentage and include it in the charts labeled as Delta.
Penn State finally made it out of Pythagorian Purgatory and have moved into ninth place with a projected winning percentage of .411 which closely matches their actual .417.
