Would be nice if Railbird’s juice on games wagered was more scrutinized than Rail’s math on Ron’s record....Rail’s fudging on lines is legendary....

Funny how Rail is in this thread 24/7 when he is winning....couldn’t find him when he was getting trounced by JK and Skinny a couple months ago....

How is purdue 9-7 and still 23 ken pom


Now rated 23rd but dropping like a rock.

Purdue was ranked #6 less than a month ago.

Pomeroy's model prefers a team that loses a lot of close games against strong opposition more than one that wins a lot of close games against weak opposition.

Reading the Pomeroy ratings are a lot like reading the Ragozin or Thorograph sheets in horse racing.

Pomeroy minimized the importance of big victory margins after the 2012-13 season.

A victory by 20 or a victory by 50 over one of the worst teams in the country would mean little to the winning team's KenPom rating.
