  • I can't believe he fell for it in the end. Ming has weak game.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      • Tell me what... something I already know?
        That you have been trolling since the very beginning... So what.
        No matter what you want to claim you are doing, you still believe Nebraska is a good team, even if you can't admit it seriously...

        So it's just fun pointing out yet again and again just how bad Nebraska sucks! And they really do!
        And that actually matters to you... so enjoy what you think is fun. What must not be fun is seeing just how bad Nebraska does suck... week after week

            • Impressive that you kept it up for 600 posts. I don't have the patience.

                Figure out what? That you simply used his actual Predictor ratings for your ratings? Is that supposed to make you a genius or good troll? That was quite obvious when you used your point differential argument, since the predictor rating includes it.

                    It was a good excuse to try and drive home the difference between how deserving a team is (Elo-Chess) and how good they are (Predictor). I don't think I've succeeded in driving that difference home to the less intellectually capable posters here, but it was worth a shot.

                    • The less intellectually capable posters like you fail to see that the predictor is just that... a predictor and not reality. This was more than proven if you had looked at "your must be right" predictor for the games that Nebraska has lost. They had favorable matchups and still lost anyway. But I guess that you will never look at the full picture, and just rely on a single stat... but it worth a shot.

                          No; you obviously don't understand what the Predictor is. It's a ranking of which teams are the "best", not which teams are the most "deserving" like Elo-Chess.

                            You're batting 1.000 today, Ming. He kept it up precisely for 600 posts.

                              No... you obviously don't understand what the Predictor is... it's simply that, a predictor. While Jeff does claim it's the best indication of score. No where does Jeff claim it's an indication of which team is "BEST". You also have to remember that it's based only on points. Nebraska's 142 - 12 slaughtering of 3 cream puffs skew the predictor since points is the only variable. You don't seem to understand that. Like any ranking, you have to look at the basis of the data to see how to really judge the ability of the system to portray reality. In this case, Nebraska's numbers are totally inflated due to their cream puff beating, and not the total picture, as is reflected in everything else.

                                How exactly are you going to predict future games unless by determining which team is the better one (on average)? Do you even think about things before you post them?
