Also, I’d be curious to know how many of the “end of season rankings” are fringe where one additional win vs one additional loss would change whether they were ranked or not.
As this is a stats convo, I want to be clear that I am not claiming the numbers would entirely change or even if this would make a difference.
I’m just asking probing questions to try to gauge how much using end of season rankings and win% is confounded with how well we played against the team in our head to head
