Message: [QUOTE="Fightin Choke, post: 3050887, member: 2605"] I joke about Notre Dame not being high enough, but seriously, ranks are not designed to be averaged, but ratings are, so I decided to average the ratings for each team. If you aren't following me with this argument, think about the Massey rankings. Notre Dame is 4th but has the same rating (2.65) as the team ranked 3rd (Oregon) and is only .01 below the team ranked second (UConn at 2.66). Also, Baylor (2.75) has a decent lead over UConn, so I thought that information should be included in a revised and I believe improved composite. The next problem I encountered was that every rating system has a different numerical value, so I normalized each rating where the top team had a rating of 100 and the worst team had a rating of 0. LRMC did not have a rating, so instead of not using the system, I converted ranks into numbers from 0 - 100 so all 4 systems were equivalent. Here are the results: [ATTACH=full]40022[/ATTACH] So does this say anything about which teams should be on the top seed line? Was my math and reasoning correct? Any feedback would be great! [/QUOTE]
