Accountability is important in anything like this. How can I say that my ratings system is accurate if there isn't anything keeping track of how accurate it really is? This is why the percentage of correct predictions is visible on every page of the Derbytron, showing the accuracy of every official game. As in, if a lower rated team beats a higher rated team, it's basically counted as a loss, but if a higher rated team wins, it's counted as a win. The only time a lower rated team would be predicted to win is if they are the home team and are rated less than .026 lower than the higher ranked away team.
But, in reality, it's sports which is by nature unpredictable and that's why it's so fun.
