Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 3431249, member: 3850"] I never could understand stats... Like Kenpom who seems to value efficiency and tempo over wins...you can earn higher scores in an efficient loss than with an inefficient win. Looking at men's basketball..as an example of my puzzlement. NET...WVU lost on the road to then NET #58 Oklahoma and moved up from NET #10 to #9. ....Or NET with Michigan State..with 8 losses including a blow out 29 point loss to Purdue...ahead of 3 loss FSU who beat NET 6 Louisville in the Yum and who beat VT at VT (who Michigan State lost to). Is NET like the football "SEC Effect"? The Big Ten has 11 teams in the Top 40...sweeping 12-11 Minnesota gives you credit for two top 50 wins? [/QUOTE]
