Sorry Boomer [Massey]

[CRAWFISH61]

It is a way to measure ourselves against our peers. It helps us see if we are making progress as a program against other programs in and out of our conference.

With great respect Charlie, isn’t that how the AP and Coaches’ Polls work? Opinion? So Massey is no worse than they, in fact better due to larger sample size....?

Oh it's probably much better. Massey has value. I mostly like busting Boomer's balls on it because he thinks the extra math somehow makes it "correct". Think about all the historical bias, judgments made based off of never seeing the teams, inability for actual head to head matchups, etc etc that make the number dubious.

It's fun to look at. If our number goes down, me happy, if it goes up me not as happy.

I prefer this to that other poll we used to track. The ESPN Bottom 10

.........So you get the Ws and Ls and to whom they played.....you get the teams the opponents played and those results......you get the home or away factor......you get game reviews and extra crazies of the games and see how competitive each team can be against whom.... based upon this you judge them.....subjectivity might come in to play but obviously objectivity is present with a pretty large sample size......also don’t forget the rankers themselves wanting an accurate account to brag about in projecting games!

A Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich awarded to you. Post of the season, and I don’t even need to see October through December to pick the winner.

Kudos to a man that can turn bottom 10 into top 10 in one post. Give him another sandwich.

Boomer did not win the sandwich. If he wants one, that might be the only way for him to get one.

It is basically the RPI for football with maybe a fairer mathematical system.
