Wolverines DRYHUMP ND


Resisting the urge to say "I told you so", the overrated french played to their true abilities
and got their butts handed to them.

Highlights of the 47 - 21 Michigan romp:

Win Quality Index (WQI)

Since ND plays the 2nd lowest ranked schedule of the top 25 teams, an index that measures win
quality might be helpful in defining reality.

Assume a #1 team plays a #2 team and the point spread is -3 and the #1 team wins 13 to 7

WQI = (2nd rank - 1st rank) + (penalty if spread is not covered or - minus the difference if spread is covered)
( 2 -1 = 1 ) + (4-3 = 1) = WQI of 2

The lower the WQI , the higher quality the win.

ND was ranked 2nd
Ga Tech was ranked 35th
the point spread was ND -6.5
the score was ND 14, Ga Tech 10

(35-2 = 33) + (4 -6.5 = -2.5 did not cover = +2.5) = WQI of 35 .5

This index rewards teams that play higher ranked teams and cover the point spread
