Or, said differently, Why is York ranked so seemingly low?AbeFroeman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:50 am It cracks me up that you actually list rankings on this. York, as the 80th team in your poll?
The rankings are based on each teams 3 Best Wins and 3 Worst Losses. York currently has a win vs. #17 Ursinus and 3 losses. The losses are to #2, #3, and #4 so their losses don't hurt them so much. York's current ranking problems are as a direct result of their only having 1 win. Once they have 3 wins, they'll be in a much better place. With this said, FWIW, the FanLax Computer Rankings are not a predictive ranking system. Of course York is better than #80. But, based on their performances, their resume in 2023, #80 is what they deserve. The FanLax Computer Rankings are a pure meritocracy ranking. *Every* team earns their ranking. And #80 is what York has earned. Thus far. Yes, one could say that York is losing to the tippy-top teams by 1 goal and should credit for that and... I just have a difference in philosophy. In a *pure meritocracy system*, I don't subscribe to the philosophy that close losses should be treated differently than blow-outs. Losses are losses. Again, in a pure meritocracy system. Anyway, yes, York, for now, is #80.
