Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 2526483, member: 55"] Recognize that they are not even trying to accomplish the same thing. Ken Pom tries to say how good you are. It's an important betters tool. And that makes margins of victory and loss critical. RPI, while incredibly imperfect, tries to measure what you've accomplished in a season based on wins, losses and strength of opponents and opponents opponents. It doesn't care about margins. No one is saying that, if you're making a future prediction, you don't care about margins. But what the reliance on these numbers is meant to do is say that the Committee doesn't care about margin of victory. A win is a win and a loss is a loss -- we just care how many and against what competition. [/QUOTE]
