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

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?

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?

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

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.”

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

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

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

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
