Quantifying the improvement so far over last season

[DC_Area_Panther]

We finished the season as Sagarin's #192 team with a rating of 70.10. We are currently Sagarin #94 with a rating of 77.82.

So we are almost 100 places higher and almost 8 points per game better on average compared to last season.

This is a good first step!

does he have a history of having his ratings correlating well with tournament bids?

He used to mark which teams got bids but stopped a few years ago. It was usually all of the top 30-35 and then a scattering of teams up to about #45 or so and then a bunch of auto bid teams not in the top 64. The teams left out who theoretically should have made it were generally teams with mediocre W-L records due to playing very difficult conference schedules.

If we finish #94 we definitely won't get a bid. If we somehow went 9-9 ACC we might get a bid but doing that would probably put us in the top 35.
