In my old neighborhood in the days of my yewt … we use to say the fella is trying to make a point …
THE HARD WAY …
Over a few weeks, I conducted a comparative analysis using four preseason college football publications – Athlon Sports, Lindy’s, Phil Steele, and The Sporting News – to develop a consensus top 25 among The Gurus. I then compared those composite rankings with four advanced metrics systems released by The Geeks (Fremeau’s FEI, ESPN’s FPI, Connelly’s S&P+, and Feng’s The Power Rank).
Uhhh … why doesn’t he just state that he doesn’t like us and thinks we were lucky …
It would have saved his reading FOUR magazines and attempting to quantify it against some advanced metric systems.
But hey in South Bend its called … “the luck of the irish” … metric systems … schmetric systems …
MY APOLOGIES … I somehow created a duplicate new topic posting … and am still not certain how to delete it from the board.
