Simmons Ratings - Week 9
- Thread starter Simmons Ratings
- Start date
The Strength of Schedule say's a lot and is sometimes overlooked.
Barnes said he wouldn't embarrass them. I heard they had less than 20 players on varsity. Got to respect those kids for keeping on keeping on.
Last night at the JV game, you could hear the coaches asking who had not gotten in halfway thru the 2nd qtr.
Obviously I’m heavily biased, but Asheville high beat Roberson on their home field, has a tougher schedule and fewer losses, how is it possible they’re 6th and we are 12th? Lol
That math aint mathin.
You are leaving out an important factor - the scores of the games. Roberson is +195 in their games, while Asheville is only +61. (coming into week 9). So the Ratings still believe that Roberson is the better team overall, even though Asheville won the head-to-head game 23-21.
So Roberson runs the score up on weaker opponents and the computer likes that more than the head to head win and fewer losses with a tougher schedule
That makes entirely NO sense. No explanation is good enough for that crap.
Lol, I mean, I get that it’s not a perfect system and that they’re just rankings at the end of the day, but beating a team on their own field, playing a tougher schedule, and having fewer losses, only to still be ranked below them, just doesn’t make much sense to me 
Whether it’s human error or computer error, something just isn’t adding up lol.
