Playoff probabilities

Infamous bigsoccer poster, texgator, pointed out the existance of this site a few months ago. Now that everybody is interested in what it will take to make it into the playoffs, I figured this is the perfect time to remind everybody to checkout the fine work of the folks at Sport Club Stats.

FCD’s chances of making the playoffs shot up 10.7% with the victory over Chicago. Although their chances remain a very low 26.5%, they could jump up to 45.2% with a victory over DC United on Sunday.

    Thanks for the post.
    Why, cowtown, does it make your head hurt?
    Is it not clear what it is trying to show?
    Too many numbers?
    Pop up windows annoying?
    Not clear how relevant or trustworthy it is?
    thanks from Ken, the “folks at Sports Club Stats” :)

    If you ever needed evidence of FCD’s situation right now…look at this game coming up. Sure, our chances go up to 45% if we win, but they fall to 11% if we lose. :shock:

    That’s pretty damn close to “must win”.
