Yes, I’m still writing this newsletter
I’ve just been a bit busy!
Nevertheless, I’m back for Week 2
Here’s our slate today:
Week 2 Projections
Week 2 Composite Poll
Most Improved Teams?
Undefeated Conferences?
Let’s jump in!
Goose - what’s keeping you so busy?
I started a company last year on this very newsletter
(lol, you probably know that, because I’ve put an ad for it on every post)
But - it’s starting to keep me busy!
For example, here’s a testimonial from last week:
Just received our fundraiser check from @teamfi_app! Hands down the easiest fundraiser you will ever do, with none of the fees like the other guys. You are doing your program a disservice if you’re using anything else! Thank you @teamfi_app!

Who’s Going to Win Tonight?
There’s a lot of great matchups happening in Week 2
Unfortunately, I don’t have projections for any of them: as we’re only 1 week into the season, we don’t have enough data to set lines on games (stay tuned for post-Week 3)
BUT!
We can still see who you guys think will win - there has been over 4,000 submissions on my Playoff Wizard tool, after all.
Check out your projections in the Tweet below:
Who's going to win tonight?
Since I re-launched the Playoff Wizard for 2024 last week, there's been over 4,000 submissions
Naturally, that includes a number of guesses on Week 2's biggest games
Here's who you guys have winning tonight: x.com/i/web/status/1…

Week 2 Composite Poll
Some people wake up and use the bathroom
Others wake up and make coffee
Me?
I woke up today and decided to make my first-ever composite poll
These polls are an average (‘composite’) of Michigan HS Football Frenzy & The Big Madonski’s by-Division Rankings
Click the thread below to check out who made the top 10 in each division:
i woke up this morning and had an itch.
you see, i want so dearly to run my computer rankings, but we only have 1 week of data
so what do i do?
then it hit me:
let's 'average' everyone else's rankings
so i did it.
here's the average ('composite') of Frenzy & Big Madonski's… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Week 1’s Most Improved Teams?
I just told you we don’t have computer rankings yet
Those are my north star for which teams have improved the most year-over-year
That said, we can do a bit of sniff test, by looking at which teams blew past their 2023 (last year) projection the most in Week 1
Check out my early candidates for top 10 most improved teams in the tweet below:
look - it's week 1
that means we have one singular data point on each team
that's not enough to properly rate anyone
*however*
we can still take a look at each team's week one performance, and compare it to how my computer model thinks they would have performed last year… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Undefeated Conferences
The Jack Pine Division 1 went undefeated in Week 1 play, posting a perfect 6-0 across all teams
Naturally, I posed the question: which other conferences also went undefeated?
You guys came in clutch: there were 3 other conferences that posted a goose-egg in the loss column last week
Find out who:
Here’s a fun one
The Jack Pine D1 went undefeated in week 1
All 6 members won
Did any other conference go undefeated to start the year?
