What if each of the 0-12 teams that the first team beat were equal to the second team (0-12)? Then team A is clearly

Who's better at basketball, the guy who beat 12 4th graders by one or the guy who lost to 12 NBA players by one?

Jan 3, 3:06pm

But why would you assume that the 12-0 teams are actually any good when you’re arguing that the 0-12 team is better?

No, there's not enough info. So that's why you look at other information, such as SOS, SOR, predictive metrics, etc.

Jan 3, 3:15pm

That’s what I said. Not enough info to determine either way. That’s why you leave assumptions about who is “better” to

But based on the information we have, it's ok to make a choice. In reality, we will never have enough information

Jan 3, 3:29pm

That’s why you create a system where evaluations of “better” don’t matter (or matter as little as possible). Most

We do have a system of “just win.”

Jan 3, 4:55pm

There is a way to find out

Carnac

True, but it looks like they may have already played, and if they did, 12-0 team won by a point.

mvtoro

Jan 3, 3:15pm

Where does it say they already played?

Carnac

Jan 3, 3:18pm

It doesn’t. I said with the info provided they “may” have played, and team A won. The data would fit perfectly. But team

These hypotheticals man..

AltTabbins

They're ridiculous hypotheticals and ridiculously easy to make the right selection

Indy Coug

Jan 3, 3:15pm

So the 12-0 team played 12 0-12 teams? And the same season there existed a 0-12

If they didn’t play each other hard to say, that’s why round robin tournaments
