Sagarin conference ratings for last 10 seasons - RobertPHanssen MU - 4/4 12:41:53
     I have a question - RBT STL - 4/4 13:23:53
          I sure don't. DiamondDave is right. Counting Final 8's or - 90Tiger MU - 4/4 13:31:17
               Sagarin measures wins and SOS - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:35:36
                    Wins are good. I don't care what our Sagarin rating is (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 4/4 13:43:19
                    Trophies measure a lot more - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:37:32
                         Well, we got three this year. - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:39:10
                              We had a great season. Didn't win it all but - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:40:30
               Yep and for overall athletic success in all sports - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:34:26
                    Every Director's Cup over the last decade disagrees. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:35:11
                         No, it's a valid and different measure of very different - 90Tiger MU - 4/4 13:46:03
                              Why are you making this personal? - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:50:56
                              Debate....EMAW! - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:47:10
                         that's because the director's cup counts things like - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:38:00
                              He claimed "overall athletic success in sports" - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:41:23
                                   You're just so absurdly argumentative that it renders - 90Tiger MU - 4/4 13:47:12
                                        Great. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:49:24
                                   I think he meant "overal athletic success in revenue sports" - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:43:41
                                        He mentioned baseball in his post. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:46:40
                                             BE has fewer BB NCs than SEC - phrejd KC - 4/4 14:04:16
                                                  Thanks to Kentucky and their 8. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 14:07:38
                                                       based on what? (nm) - phrejd KC - 4/4 14:09:10
                                                            Contributions from all teams. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 14:15:20
                                             BB = hoops. Got it now. - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:51:00
                                                  Of course, BB=hoops. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:53:42
                                                       Yeah, so I was wondering why you mentioned baseball at all - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 14:00:33
                                                            Because you brought it up in your post. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 14:04:10
                                             LSU in 09' and S. Carolina the last 2 years is not owing - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:50:06
                                                  You mentioned a non-revenue sport. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:52:37
                                                       In the SEC, it's a definite revenue sport. It's not women's - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:59:55
                                                            So, now you're redefining "revenue sport" after - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 14:06:12
                                                                 They fill the stands and scholarships - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 14:15:32
                                                                      Then, you should'e said that in your initial post. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 14:27:31
                                        Did you get your B12 Wrestling Champions shirt? - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:45:22
                         Director Cup smack! Non-revenue sport smack! Brilliant - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:37:03
                              Just using your words. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:38:19
               Disagree. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:33:58
                    Of course it matters. - BadAsh SEC - 4/4 13:38:38
                         It's a strawman - nobody here claims the NCAA tournament - 90Tiger MU - 4/4 13:48:42
                              you might want to read the post that I responded to. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:55:36
                    Making the Final Four is obviously better than losing in - FIJItiger MU - 4/4 13:38:21
                         And, I've never heard of fans of any other team - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:42:49
                              Everyone sets their own goalposts for what they value - FIJItiger MU - 4/4 13:47:09
                                   Okay. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:54:49
                         All about match-ups. Honestly, kU got the worse bracket - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:39:43
                              Yep. They got a great bracket in the NCAA tourney. - BadAsh SEC - 4/4 13:45:45
                    I have ku alum family members that only care about the title - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:35:55
                         hahaha - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:37:12
                              They're family, so of course. I don't walk around with my - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:38:23
                                   That t-shirt wouldn't matter anyway. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:43:42
          flying asterisks?(nm) - tigerNkc MU - 4/4 13:29:11
          ^^What he said(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/4 13:24:58
     Top 50 teams by conference in Sagarin - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:11:51
          If you cut it off at top 30 - FIJItiger MU - 4/4 13:17:57
               Sure. But the SEC is more top heavy than some - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:21:38
                    For me personally,I don't care what the SEC was historically - FIJItiger MU - 4/4 13:25:33
                    And Minn, Nubs, Penn State, and NW are deplorable too - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:22:53
                         here are the bottom halfs: - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:27:52
                              Funny thing about looking at bottom halves of conferences - BadAsh SEC - 4/4 13:34:24
                                   it adversely affects the SOS of the good teams in the league - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:42:18
                                        I disagree about the non-con games. - BadAsh SEC - 4/4 13:48:28
                                             all the top teams do it and it works out fine for them. - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 14:18:03
                                                  I'm not sure I agree with that either. It's all about - BadAsh SEC - 4/4 14:30:40
                                   Except that is 1/2 of your conference games. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:36:32
                                        Again, the top half will beat the bottom half most of the - BadAsh SEC - 4/4 13:42:00
                                             Most of the time is correct. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:48:39
                                                  I'm not talking B1G basketball. I think most people would - BadAsh SEC - 4/4 14:01:21
                                                       Makes sense to me. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 14:45:40
                              Well, Tenn, MSU, LSU, Ga., Ark, and aTm have been players - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:30:47
                                   yeah, the SEC is just down right now at the bottom - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:32:49
               What's the average SAG ranking by conference? - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:20:38
                    Sagarin rating by conference this year - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:24:15
                         The PAC12 is 6th in that group, or 6th among all - FIJItiger MU - 4/4 13:28:09
                              6th among all conferences - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:29:19
                    Don't know, I'm using the data from his post (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 4/4 13:21:58
                         Wow, this surprised me. This isn't close. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:29:06
                              yeah, the bottom half of the SEC in basketball pretty much - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:30:43
          Certainly going forward I agree - RobertPHanssen MU - 4/4 13:14:53
          Let's just not have a tourney and award the champ by - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:13:12
               I'm not sure if you're new to basketball but - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:16:12
                    I also know head-to-head and competition on the field - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:21:20
                         Nope. It means nothing unless you win the NCAA title. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 13:30:15
                              Now you're catching on. Winning titles much more important - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:32:23
               You seem unable to grasp - RobertPHanssen MU - 4/4 13:15:32
                    Conferences compete against each other for titles - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:18:25
               if you did then the SEC would win this year. - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:14:34
                    Then why argue the strength of a conference? Why would - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:16:44
                         Certainly it's good that the SEC is winning national titles - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 13:18:52
                              That's why I said they're behind the ACC and Big East - Diamond Dave MU - 4/4 13:22:10

     What this tells me is that the SEC has plenty of potential - AndyTiger MU - 4/4 12:56:16
          I agree - RobertPHanssen MU - 4/4 13:06:17

                                   Heck of a lot better than losing to Norfolk State. - tjwheeler UI - 4/4 12:59:22
                                        Which is better than winning 1 NCAA game in 5years nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/4 13:06:34
