[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 651537, member: 3893"] I care about more than wins and losses. I also care about margin of victory and SOS. Margin of victory can be tricky because some team run up the score and some don't. Some teams might want to rest their players. Some opponents might be throwing in the towel. So although it is important in ranking teams, I know it's very tricky in terms of how it is viewed. But still it has to be considered. Hard to imagine how people can figure all that out, but harder still to imagine a computer doing it. As far as determining who is likely to win, I don't doubt the PPD system could be useful to a bettor in Vegas as one factor to consider for any particular game. As for who deserves to be ranked higher, I think it's not as useful. I think they are two different things. And if you just went by who is more likely to win, why wouldn't you just let Vegas odds determine the rankings? That would be the best determinant of that, by far. [/QUOTE]
