Re: Top Conferences Top-to-Bottom Using Sagarin Predictor
[ QUOTE ]
If the predictor is so bad, why do experts use it to predict games?

I'd like to see an expert who would set Mich. St. as a point spread favorite against any of the three teams I mentioned.
I find it funny that on a poker board where people talk about needing tens of thousands of hands to have a relevant sample size people are willing to accept a computer ranking to compare these conferences based on a handful or two of interconference games.
The simple fact is we don't have even close to enough quantitative information to say one football conference is better than the others.
