And when you think about it, ranking teams according to their own rankings in scoring offense and defense is resume based as well. What better statement of who a team is than going by their points scored and allowed? <BR/><BR/>But I do like that you guys are at least Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35816861.post-49587947331594093202008-10-13T20:56:00.000-04:002008-10-13T20:56:00.000-04:00You're what's need in the polls: An independent, n...You're what's need in the polls: An independent, non-biased "show me what you've done" ranking system. It's not that I agree with you on all fronts, but that doesn't matter. It's the fact that you don't try to agree with everybody else. There is no "correct" system with polls, but, in the main stream media, there is only one correct system: "I think team A would beat team B."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35816861.post-35847166474459834732008-10-13T19:55:00.000-04:002008-10-13T19:55:00.000-04:00Amos,As I wrote that line I was regretting it.

I took the job interview scenario to it's logical conclusion. The reason you look at a resume is because you want the best possible hire.

I have a question though. Hypothetically if LSU beats Alabama next week (if they played) don't you have to do a bit of subjective decision making? You could either say, "Alabama is a really good team, I guess I underestimated LSU" or "Alabama lost to a pretty bad LSU team, I guess both Alabama and LSU are pretty bad."<BR/><BR/>I assumeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35816861.post-62632812577924295912008-10-13T18:38:00.000-04:002008-10-13T18:38:00.000-04:00You've only met Mergz once???

You get ranked high because you deserve it due to what you've done. Saying anything about future performance is now going into all those things you don't want to go into (like injuries and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
