Thanks guys for hijacking a thread unrelated to the Mike/Benis/cub lovefest and posting seven unrelated posts that say nothing other than "I'm a jerk, but Mike is a bigger jerk". Grow up fellas.

Hell of a start for Ashvillle, seriously. It takes skill to get yourself in a good position. He will wreck in your zone. As I've said, zones maximize 1-3 EE talented players better than any other system I've seen.

Oops sorry sorry.

1. Wow that spread is nuts!
2. I don't think covering a spread really matters in rankings despite some belief that it does.

LOL. Do you consider that post "on topic"? Moron.

FWIW, I was on-topic. But this thread was dying anyway.

I think he'd perform well in pretty much any set. I don't think he's anywhere near EE-quality though.

I don't know if it's a direct correlation as lakevin suggests but I scheduled a handful of chump sims in my non-con, didn't cover most, have gone 6-4(my only losses) vs top 25, 14 RPI, 20 SOS, 14-4 record and I just got ranked for the first time since pre-season.

I definitely think it’s matters. I’ve seen it when I was a ranked D2 in a weak conference a while back. You’re ranked because you’re killing your conference schedule which is full of ranked teams. You’re 7-1 in conference and have only been favorite once...and even that was only -1. Impressive run.

I think that's the thing. I was terrible last season so I was having trouble getting non-cons against humans. I took some weak games in hopes of getting IQs up before the tough part of my schedule came. So I was favored but giving PT to everyone rather than worrying over the spread. Personally, I think I should have been ranked 2-3 games before I was. And I think not covering those early spreads were the reason.
