[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 285565, member: 932"] I mean I do have a Masters in Statistics, so I kind of know what I'm talking about...drawing conclusions from data sets with a small sample size is terrible practice...yet the media does it all the damn time. My point about the data is that there is a lot of variance with such a small sample size. Then there's also the fact that there are more variables at play than just the BYE week...and to sit there and say that over a sample size of 10 games that the BYE week was the deciding factor is ridiculous. Then even if you get a sample size large enough there's the whole correlation vs. causation issue. The biggest factor you're leaving out is the teams being played. Let's say we lose to Clemson when they're coming off a BYE but beat Syracuse when they're coming off a BYE. Is the BYE the deciding factor? [/QUOTE]
