For those who may not be familiar with CHODR, a full introduction is
posted in a separate message.  Briefly, the system assigns offensive
and defensive ratings to each of the 44 Division I teams based on
goals for and against while accounting for strength of schedule.  The
overall ratings are simply the difference between the offensive and
defensive ratings.  CHODR also allows us to predict the scores (and
win probabilities) of upcoming games.
 
Score predictions and win probabilities for this week's games will be
coming soon with several pre-Thanksgiving contests midweek.
 
Please direct questions, comments, and/or suggestions directly to us
and not to the list.  If possible, please send mail to both of us
when inquiring about the rating.
