hoping people can give me general advice...
i use a bunch of statistical/power rating sites. they all seem to use different codes for team names. Mass, UMass, Masssachusits sp? and perhaps.
anyway advice on dealing with them.... i'm thinking of lookup tables in excel, but i'm wondering if sites (say teamrankings.com, masseyratings.com, statfox.com etc.) are at least consistent over time with their abbreviations (lots of teams it's not problem. florida, idaho etc.. but many teams it is a problem)
thanks in advance. don't think there's really any way around it..
i guess one thing i can do is build look up tables for each website..... i was thinking more of combining the amazing info from many sites
