I previously mentioned how Carroll College was going to begin feeding computer rankings to NAIA voting coaches (for men’s basketball) in order to improve the coaches’ poll. That process has begun. You can see the results by comparing the Sagarin Ratings with the latest coaches’ poll.

Unlike the football rankings (in which the coaches will frequently put teams in the top 20–and even the top 10–that Massey Ratings doesn’t have in their top 40), these are fairly close. I’m not sure how much of it has to do with Carroll’s efforts. SOU is ranked #13 by the coaches and #11 by Sagarin.
