Bears Necessity: How Has Cal Football Performed in the Humidity?

  • HydroTech · 1 year ago
    I see that most of the games are losses, but shouldn't there be some sort of negative correlation here if our theory is that as the heat index goes up, we should lose by more points? Upon cursory visual inspection, there does appear to be somewhat of a negative correlation but extremely weak. I don't remember how to find regression lines (if that's what it's even called).

    As suspected, it looks like much of the correlation has to do with how good the teams were at the time. A lot of these Cal teams were way inferior to the SEC teams they faced. It makes you wonder how much it matters in the end.
