Message: [QUOTE="Bama fan, post: 3822948, member: 7757"] I see your point here, but at the risk of stating the obvious, the algorithms are created by humans and thus depend upon the quality of information and analysis of humans too. The "human only "polls have to contend with the obvious bias of the voters. But the algorithm based evaluations have bias built in that even their creators often do not even recognize. I prefer the "eye test" opportunity that coaches polls provide, but I guess that is my own bias showing. The manipulation of statistics is inherently problematic and I would guess that the most critical thinking isn't always provided in these data driven polls. [/QUOTE]
