Unlocking the Ultimate Debate: Can College Teams Outsmart Pros Across Eras?
What makes TRACR equally important in college football, college basketball, NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL?
Because it normalizes a team’s performance (for any sport) from league factors that can either inflate or deflate its numbers.
That’s done with a model that uses advanced metrics and other factors to calculate how teams compare or compared to the league-average club during a given season.
The data we use depends on the sport, but it’s basically how many points per 10 drives (in football) better or worse the team was to that average-club baseline. In basketball, it’s how many points per 100 possessions. It’s baseball, it’s how many runs per nine innings and for hockey, it’s goals scored/allowed per game in comparison.
