Don't attempt to jump in now...you don't know what's going on...this isn't to figure out who the best coaches are


What is the point of a rating if it's not used to determine the best?

I thought it was to determine the best coach and/or team. If you want to do all that more power to you. To me it's just a bunch of mathematical masturbation. The national champion is the best team/coach. That last sentence isn't necessarily true...winning the national tournament/championship game means you're the national champion, not that you're the best team/coach...there is a difference. The best teams/coaches don't always win.

My apologies to Colonel. I wasn't aware that one had to be invited into a thread. Sorry for 'jumping in'. You can jump in all you want...I'm just suggesting that A. You're way behind the 8 ball, thus you should read up on some threads to inform yourself and B. you might get caught up in a battle that you never wanted to begin with anyway. Just giving you a friendly fair warning here.

You are hilarious Colonel. You can rest assured that I won't 'battle' anyone over a SIM game. I play this because it is a diversion and is fun. I really don't care if I win a championship or if someone thinks I am a good coach or a bad coach. I don't have time for spreadsheets or ranking systems. I don't usually spend alot of time in the forums, but this is a slow week.

I am amazed at the amount of time people seem to devote to this. To each his own I guess. Your response seemed condescending to me, just like Zhawks can seem condescending to you at times. My response is to consider the source, say 'whatever' and move on. I won't get into a 50 page debate over HD. But that's just me.

The entire debate started when I merely said I wanted to do a ranking based on overall ratings as a SOS and people had a coniption (sp?) Whether you like it or not I'm not going to be down-trodden by a guy like zhawks, arssintheb, or dalter and told my system is WRONG just because they don't agree with it...and sadly...that's what a large portion of that thread is...its quite repetitive, shocking I know. They tried to paint my system as the worst ever while being closed-minded and not completely understanding how it worked...that's the truth.
