Here's the result of the 2021 Probability Polls. I am comparing our voting results to the ESPN preseason probabilities and to our 2019 polls for common opponents. Interesting that votes were more pessimistic for our first two opponents that the remainder of the schedule.

Total: 6.577 wins (-0.34 wins from 2019 predictions)

Adjusted total thru Game 1: 5.748 wins (-0.829)
Adjusted total thru Game 2: 5.954 wins (+0.206)
Adjusted total thru Game 3: 5.720 wins (-0.234)
Adjusted total thru Game 4: 6.305 wins (+0.585)
Adjusted total thru Game 5: 5.712 wins (-0.593)
Adjusted total thru Game 6: 5.961 wins (+0.249)
Adjusted total thru Game 7: 5.380 wins (-0.581)
Adjusted total thru Game 8: 4.775 wins (-0.605)
Adjusted total thru Game 9: 4.335 wins (-0.440)
Adjusted total thru Game 10: 3.731 wins (-0.604)
Adjusted total thru Game 11: 3.385 wins (-0.346)


Ranking of toughest opponents by probability:

1 Clem : 0.234 L
2 ND : 0.346 L
3 UGA : 0.385
4 UNC : 0.415 W
5 Miami : 0.440 L
6 UVA : 0.581 L
7 Pitt : 0.593 L
8 BC : 0.604 L
9 VT : 0.605 L
10 Duke : 0.751 W
11 Ken St : 0.794 W
12 N Ill : 0.829 L

Here's the complete voting spreadsheet. I'll be tracking each voters record through the season as described in THIS thread if you voted for all 12 games.

OP updated for Game 4 results.

Our Game 4 win has increased the expected win total by 0.585. The total expected win value is now 6.305 wins.

We are back above our pre-season win threshold of 6. Of note, voters rated the UNC game the most pessimistically when comparing the 2019 results to the 2021 results, with a 35% drop in optimism.

The regular season is 25% complete, and the race for the Stingtalk PPP championship is taking shape.

For basic prediction accuracy, there's a group of 8 with a record of 3-1. Here's a list of top prognosticators for the other scoring methods:

TIA Scoring: @ee8384, @G776T, @GT18YJjr.

GoGATech Scoring: @BrentwoodJacket, @coit, @G776T

GoGaTech Raw Score: @BrentwoodJacket, @BranMart, @coit
