ACC teams played 31 games against teams who ended up being final ranked in the BCS Top 25...and that is the difference in SOS..
Billybud, I'm not here to split hairs. If you want to do all the tallying, by all means, do it. But so much of what you post is so biased, and completely baseless, I wouldn't trust you to do my laundry. (Plus I like to do my own whites, if you please).
You have a right to your opinion, but don't expect me to agree with it, especially when you fabricate numbers to justify your position. The point of this thread, to my understanding, anyway, was to position conferences relative to their games, OOC.
I attempted to do that, and do it in a way that was factual. To imply otherwise I think says something about you, not me.
I don't 'twist' anything. That isn't my style. I'm more of 'hands on' guy, anyway, when it comes to number crunching. I don't do it to annoy you, or anyone else. I do it because I think it merits discussion, and it does, when it comes to being fair.
Georgia Tech, to my knowledge, was a respectable but still largely unpolished ACC team. Maybe that's why all your numbers are inflated. I will admit, I used Notre Dame, as a BCS team, mostly out of respect to their program. It didn't inflate my numbers, in fact, it deflated, them, as SDSU lost to them. Hawaii will have a difficult time beating them, IMO. But, I didn't fabricate anything, and I resent that implication, and I feel you should apologize for making it. I don't lie, it's not my MO.
You are correct on one point, however. I am human, I make mistakes. Pardon me for not being perfect. But I admit when I'm wrong. I should have given the ACC credit for a game, but I neglected to, in my initial posting. They were 15-8, as I remember, which should position them slightly ahead of the MWC, by %. You can't include ACC games, simply because we are comparing conferneces against each other. I'm not cheating you. I suppose by definition, you are correct, the ACC very likely plays a more competitive schedule, overall, than either the MWC or WAC. Congratulations. I don't think it takes a wizard to calculate that. But you are still missing the point. We are talking about comparing a Boise team against say, a Georgia Tech (since they are rated higher than VT). Use whatever figures you feel are appropriate, I still believe, in my heart, Boise St is a better team, than your ACC. Call me crazy, or whatever else you feel applies, but do it fairly. OK?
