Doug,

But a playoff system has nothing to do with this. Given that we're using objective and subjective rankings it makes sense to use Sagarin over ELO Chess.

Maybe. As I said it is up for debate. I am not sure where I stand on the issue myself.

How about this. You pick 5 games where you MUST pick the ELO CHESS favorite, and I pick 5 games and use Sagarin predictor. We see who has a better record on the 10 games overall.

If you read my edit and my other posts you will see that I make no argument whatsoever that the ELO CHESS rankings are better at predicting future outcomes. In fact, I stated exactly the opposite. Unless you want to give me odds on this bet I will have to turn it down.
