At least make him admit it so that he is transparent about having a P5 bias.78-65 -
Well, there is this:
Matt Norlander @MattNorlander 11m11 minutes ago
Spoke w/ the chair of sel cmte this AM and asked him point blank, "Do you have a subscription to KenPom?" He said he looks at it every day.

I know this goes against the mindset here, but I would think if you give too much credit to MOV, it could lead to teams loading up their non-conf schedule with RPI 300s + and blowing them out by 20-30 points in order to help their resume. Also, that is why they obviously coined the term "good losses."Comment

Wait a sec...didn't Wich St completely shut him down and beat them by 30?Comment

Watch Palm closely. He's gone in one week from WSU out with a loss to a maybe they have a high seed with the loss. Soon, he and Lunardi will be very close.Comment

Dude. When you are condescending and arrogant toward people, and call them names, they won't listen to you -- NOR SHOULD THEY. You are never going to get that, are you?Originally posted by Jamar Howard 4 President View Post
Calling him dumb and then badgering him, isn't helping the Shockers case at all. If you are going to rep Wichita with a major media influencer, at least be respectful so that he will listen to your solid arguments.
Your arguments ARE insightful and useful, and with the right tact, you may actually get him to consider them. But based on the approach you are taking, you are going to end up being just another of a bunch of condescending idiots for him to ignore. And that's a shame, because you have super strong Bracketology Fu.
Also, your political "identity" puts you in the weirdo camp.
Swap that out to something NCAA basketball related, gather your strong arguments, present them in a respectful way, and do something good for WSU!Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

Palm seems like a guy who somehow slipped into an engineering, accounting, or financial analyst job with a general studies degree from University of Phoenix.Comment

Didn't know where to put this, but don't know how UNI is on par now with WSU.

Has anyone ever asked Palm if he has an excuse for being a terrible bracketologist year after year and why he thinks he has any credibility at all?Comment

He has a blue-checkmark, so he has to know what he's talking about!!Originally posted by shocktheheart View PostThe AssmanComment

I'm very sympathetic to your general point @Kung Wu, but I completely disagree with your application of it in this case.Originally posted by Kung Wu View Post
I called his standard dumb (not him, his standard) and used a bunch of logical explanation to support it. If you read twitter whatsoever, you know I was extremely civil compared to much of what he gets.
He later posted that he disagreed with my thinking, but appreciated that I was using numbers (implying most responses are only emotion based) and he liked that I was approaching things from a unique angle.
He heard me out, appreciated my argument, but then completely and enthusiastically disagreed. No approach would have helped short of an hour sitting together in person. Now I can feel confident that I'm not missing anything in regards to his opinions. He simply ignores margin of victory, which I find to be utterly stupid, but I can't force him to change.Comment

Hey, Flip -- Have you looked at some of the schedules teams like Georgetown and Providence play? They already do that. How do you think Bryant and Maryland-Eastern Shore get into some of those east coast tournaments?Originally posted by Flip1381 View Post
Besides, a guy like Pomeroy knows that not all opponents are equal, and he takes that into consideration in weighting margin of victory. But as between his calibration and the old RPI, a sledgehammer used to swat a fly, which ignores margin of victory altogether, how can anyone not prefer a metric that at least considers something that's obviously relevant? That's why the committee has pretty much abandoned RPI -- they KNOW it's wrong, whereas at least with the other metrics the quibble is just about how much consideration should be given.Comment

UNI is "on par" with WSU about like Iowa State is "on par" with KU. Hate using KU to support something associated with WSU, but the analogy is quite similar once scaled from the B12 to the MVC.Originally posted by shocktheheart View PostComment

I'm happy with wins and losses getting 80-90% of consideration and margin of victory being only a modest factor for adjustment. If you took 80% of RPI, 20% of KenPom, and came up with a blended ranking for use by the committee, I wouldn't complain. What I am not happy with is someone who says margin should be ignored entirely. How stupid is the following:
Palm's job is trying to predict what the committee will do
The committee chair says he looks at KenPom every day
Palm says he doesn't look at KenPom at all
What the heck!!!Comment
