[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 709598, member: 1191"] I can agree with your logic. I somewhat disagree with the final rankings, but I would rank the top 3, in order, as 2014, 2009, and 1998. I do this by looking at several things. First, the SoS. 2009 had the best, 1998 had the worst. What drives the nail for me is record in one possession games. One really useful indicator of how good a team actually is is it's record in these games. If a team breaks even in these games, then their record is solid. If they skew heavily in either direction, it either indicates they overachieved or had more "lucky bounces" than normal or that they underachieved or had more bad breaks. For instance, compare the two recent 3-9 teams. In 2019, we were 3-2 in these games, which is a pretty even distribution. We were legitimately a 3-9 team. In 2015 we were 1-6 in these games, indicating we were a 5-6 win team that caught some bad breaks. As you can see in the chart below, we slightly overachieved in '98 and '09 but had a dead even split in '14. Given that and the SOS/record vs top 30, I'd give the nod to the 2014 team.
