    In your multiple posts, I guess I didn't pick up that Tweam A and B were top 25 teams. If they were, that doesn't mean anything since Team B has not yet had the opportunity to play anything but a 170 ranked team, or whatever number you ultimately decide to attach to it. What is team C & D? Are you on to a different question?

      This is my third post on this subject. If you look at the top of this page (6) you will see my first, but here are my teams again.

      Team A

      Average RPI of their Top 5 wins 22
      Average RPI of their Bottom 5 wins 233

      Team B
      Average RPI of their top 5 wins 43
      Average RPI of their bottom 5 wins 214.


      Or these Teams.

      Team C

      Top 5 61
      Bot 5 245

      Team D

      Top 5 39
      Bot 5 283

            • I just hope JH4P gets to the point of this long, drawn out exercise before Eric Hamilton graduates from WSU.

                Sorry I was responding to JH4P and did not pick up that it wa syou responding. Frankly I have no tread nor followed your discussion and probably will not get that deep into this.

                    Here are two changes to the original hypothetical that would make it potentially yield results:

                    1. Assert that all games were on the same type of location (e.g. all home games)
                    2. Don't ask how you would rank the two teams, ask which of the two teams played a tougher schedule

                    Home/Away is too big a factor on game difficulty to not be included in an SOS discussion.

                    Asking who played a tougher schedule is a much narrower question than how teams should be ranked because you don't need to know anything about issues like margin of victory to determine SOS, but you do to determine ranking.
                    I'm still convinced that this post I made much earlier in the thread would actually create the framework for the conversation that JH4P wants to have (as best as I can guess), but the continued insistence on asking which team you would rank higher or which team would impress you more instead of the much more straightforward question of which team played a harder schedule ruins the whole thing.

                        I agree. I think most others would also agree. The strength of the top over weighs the weakness of the bottom. JH4P does that answer your question?

                          y + b = g

                          y = yellow
                          b = black
                          g = gold
