In a roundabout way, Texas Tech gamed my SP+ ratings in 2022.
I have long written about a measure I call postgame win expectancy -- it takes all the plays in a given game, tosses them into the air and, based on the stats that tend to be most predictive (and which feed into SP+), says, "With all these stats, you could have expected to win this game X% of the time."
Add up all your postgame win expectancies from a given year, and you get what amounts to a second-order win total: "With all these stats this year, you could have expected to win X games on average.
