I don’t guess head to head competition means much here

Nope this is done by averages. The far right column heading said Average rank.

It should have some influence, but shouldn't be a big determining factor. I'm assuming the teams you're referring to have identical records. But if the rest of the team's schedules are completely different, that matters when it comes to ranking them. The team that lost the head to head may have beaten better teams than the team that won.

Pretty sure he is referring to ED being Average ranked higher than Wallace. Since Wallace beat ED it would seem Wallace would be higher but since this is done by averages of whole season ED is still higher. Grizzly will explain it to all of us. I just had time and was trying to help. Hope I didn’t offend anyone.

I would have no problem with Wallace a notch above ED. Wallace won ED lost done deal. But really none of these polls matter now.

No they don't matter but we all can agree we appreciate @GrizzlyDevil work he does on these things. Gives us stuff to think about.
