Numbers > letters

Still ironing out a few kinks in my new data parser - this week, TCU's game against Stephen F. Austin slipped through the cracks thanks to the period disappearing in the incoming data set, and Duke's game against North Carolina Central didn't count since they were expected to play NC Central instead. After previously fixing an issue with San Jose State (vs San José State) last week, I think most of the problems have now been sorted out. At any rate, the previously missing game data has been added in and the currently posted Week 2 rankings reflect that inclusion. Any chance we could get the NCAA to assign unique id numbers to each member institution and require them to be included in all reported box scores? ;)

Heads Up

ESPN changed their entire scoreboard layout (as part of their site-wide refresh) since last season, so it turns out I need to write a new data parser to extract the information that Chaos Rankings needs for its inputs. Hopefully I can get that done over the long weekend in time to post results after the late game Monday night, but if not, either the week 1 rankings may be late or I may elect to skip them entirely while I work on the parser. Stay tuned!
