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.

Have you really not been paying attention at all. The debate is not which method is a better predictor. The debate is which method should be used to award championships.
