Just because they value it doesn't mean it's valuable. Or, for that matter, fair and reasonable.

Re: 2023 FanLax Forum Poll
I understand your process. I just think the inability to recognize/weight recent head-to-head results is a limitation that (occasionally) causes mis-rankings. As I understand yours. I'm of the belief (more accurately, my programmer is of the belief) that giving recent head-to-head results a higher ...

Re: 2023 FanLax Forum Poll
Yes, it would be completely unfair to penalize teams with weaker SOSs![/sarcasm] If a team has a weaker schedule. i.e. They simply haven't proven themselves at all. That team should be punished. Or, better, not rewarded. But the team that only has the ability of playing a handful of tough games due...

Re: 2023 FanLax Forum Poll
Yeah, that is how it works out for the teams at the top of the polls who have losses to other teams at the top of the polls. It does not work out for middle of the pack teams that play tougher schedules when compared to lower level teams like Marquette that play an extremely week schedule. And agai...

Re: 2023 FanLax Forum Poll
Interesting. I don't think it is reasonable to favor "resume" strength over recent head-to-head results (especially when both teams are inside the top 20), but it's not my computer. I don't know. Considering Ws and Ls from previous seasons the same as Ws and Ls from the previous weekend i...

Re: 2023 FanLax Forum Poll
... So, teams that are playing much, much, much tougher schedules seem to be penalized because they have losses. SU, N'westrn, UNC, BC, and UMD all have Top 7 SOS (Strength of Schedules) and they are all in the Top 7 nationally. You're not penalized for a tougher SOS. Matter of fact, playing a toug...

Re: 2023 FanLax Forum Poll
... Any formula that has Marquette in the Top 15 has some errors in it. Disagree. Their win ranking (#32) is not amazing but is also nothing to sneeze at (OSU, G'town, Cincinnati) but their only loss is to N'western. So one might say, PSU should be ahead of them and... I have PSU at #22. PSu's wins...

Re: FanLax Forum Poll
...OSU has lost 6 of 8; in 5 of those 6 losses, they weren't competitive. As in: The game was all-but over by halftime. Of their 5 wins, two are against good teams, the other 3 are against, to put it mildly, "lesser" programs. To their credit, the did take care of business against Detroit...
