False...that's the meaning you want to give to it. Again, data is nothing without analytics. Saying the fall in the middle is merely a starting point. That's why there's D&A departments not just D. Data points exists only to be analyzed. We're again not grading on a curve.
Why?

Dumbshit doesn't know the statistical difference between "average" and "bad" - he truly is not just a troll, but an idiot as well. Let's call the Top quartile - "Good" (Top Decile - Really Good, the best of the best).... bottom quartile- "Bad" (bottom decile Really Bad - the worst of the worst). The middle 50% range from Good to Bad with the middle-quartile of that group being "Average". But according to loudmouth douche troll there is only good and bad which is clearly FACTUALLY wrong regarding any statistical population (not to mention a really stupid, incorrect statement), but don't confuse the ignorant, a-hole, always-wrong loudmouth douche posing-troll with the simple FACTS. LMFAO, this moron is such a tool always running his stupid, ignorant troll mouth.
Why don't you simply admit that you got yourself into an argument that you can't argue your way out of? You made in idiotic statement and now you refuse to give in. The Data Analysis uses the actual data to make their determinations. They don't get to make up their own datapoints or population groups, which you seem to insist on doing.

[ˈav(ə)rij]
noun
- a number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number. Compare with mean.
Because I didn't.
Using your absurd logic--Army is better than Penn State, Ohio State and Texas.
We are using actual data--look at who they played and who the beat--you see patterns. This is analysis 101.
You lost this the moment you said curve
LOL... Been called a lot of things but never a preppy.... Dude, that's hilarious.
WVU was good at the time. IL was 20 at the time. USC was also good at the time. All were hard fought wins.
This is funny.
"If you can't consistently beat or contend with the upper level teams you're bad."
Let's think about that statement. If you can consistently beat or contend with the upper level teams, then by definition YOU are an upper level team. By your definition, if you aren't an upper level team, then you are bad. That implies that there are no just good or average teams. You are either part of the upper crust or you are dirt.
And that makes sense to you?
Sorry…my bad.
You aren’t Preppie. That’s the other little twerp on here, the one constantly calling other posters names like a snotty schoolgirl.
He’s an Erie Prep guy. That’s enough said for anyone familiar with the Preppies.
My point, sadly, is you were starting to act just like him. Not a good look for you, Knox.
As for the second part of your post, WVU was absolutely not good at the time it played PSU. Has not been a good football team at any point this season. IL may have been ranked #20 at the time of the PSU game, but that was a bad guess based on minimal games. That team has been exposed as not very good. Same can be said for USC. Many were judging the Trojans early based on program reputation, not body of work. They were, both then and now, not a very impressive football team.
Correct--that makes perfect sense. There's tiers of good. See Penn State/Ohio State. We can't beat them so we're beneath them but we dominate everyone else not named Michigan and have for two years. It's very simple for someone who claims to understand data though you likely have someone else analyze it for you if you even use it. If you're using raw data--yikes.
This^^^^
WVU was good before the season started because Pat McAfee hyped them up? Is that their argument lol
Illinois was ranked because voters didn't realize how bad Kansas and Nebraska were yet
Well, if that makes sense to you, then I know what I'm dealing with. An idiot. You are either part of the upper crust or you are bad. There is no in between.
Thanks for the discussion. But I limit how long I talk to nonsense.
Lol I'm an idiot for accepting reality.
Schools like Indiana and Boise State are the middle as I already explained tiers.
The nonsense is believing raw data determines if a team is good, average or bad.
Again, you'd have to belive Army is better than Penn State Alabama Texas etc. We know you don't but that ends your argument so thanks for playing.
No, you said, and I quote: "If you can't consistently beat or contend with the upper level teams you're bad."
There are no "tiers" in that statement. If you aren't in the upper crust, you are bad. Period. End of statement.
Idiotic statement.
I'm done.
When I jump on this board to discuss college football, my assumption is the majority of the give-and-take (unless otherwise noted) is about the top 20 or so teams in the country.
We never discuss which Directional Michigan is better than Directional Illinois. We don’t discuss Wyoming, New Mexico State, Fresno State or Temple. Our traditional subset is the top 20 or so teams.
Under that general assumption, it is safe to say Michigan and Pitt and WVU and USC (among many others) are “bad” teams this year.
To throw out that assumed subset and replace it with all of D-1 football for the sake of starting an argument with a poster you don’t care for is an absurd waste of time and brain cells.
Sadly, the bottom dwellers on this board do not have many brain cells to spare.

#4 in the AP rankings. Someone believes PSU is pretty good. Given that they played OSU tight and coulda shoulda kept the game alive for a possible W, I'd say they are pretty good. 3 more games in the regular season. If they keep it together, they will have a nice path in the playoffs. We have a lot to look forward to as fans.
I tried to warn you that he was not only a posing-troll, but a complete blithering moron on top of that (much like his little fan-club like SafetyShitz). Only a moron like HanjoCommando can argue against objective mathematical FACTS and declare himself "right" and "correct" as if this changes the FACT that he is DIAMETRICALLY and FACTUALLY WRONG as per usual.

He also doesn't understand the concept that raw record doesn't determine the absolute strength of of one team versus another when the two teams are playing in two different conferences and have wholly different schedules. This is why playoffs exist. And as per usual, he brings up this clear strawman argument in regards to a topic that has zero to do with it.

More intelligent conversation from the Preppie. Gotta wonder, if he can’t take even an ounce of pride in how he portrays himself on an adult dominated sports message board, how does he expect others to take his thoughts seriously.
If he wants to grow up and take part in civil and sensible discussion, I’ll be happy to participate. If not, well…let’s just say a mind is, indeed, a terrible thing to waste.
It’s been this way for years on this board…every team PSU beats is bad…so it’s easy to always be “right” when you’re arguing subjectively.
Be reminded, we aren't #4 in the nation. We didn't take OSU down to the wire.
Imagine these kids at PSU being told they hadn't played anyone. That's Loado's message. "Hey boys, you really aren't that good."
I literally said we should be ranked 3rd ahead of Texas. I don't have to pretend our opponents are better than they are to be impressed with the team. Simple concept. And they know the only team they've played that's good in Ohio State. They're not stupid.
And it’s been his message (and others) every single year. Yet at the beginning of the season, we hear how we will be lucky to win 8 games this year because the schedule is so tough, until we win 10, then it’s because the schedule was easy.
Lol...the expectation before the year was 10 or 11. USC was always said to be the 2nd toughest game.
The people picking us to lose are those that overvalue our opponents
Yeah, went to Penn State and Northwestern but I have an IQ of 90
Hell, you can't even remember the names of wrestlers you're trying to use as examples
He's real name may be Richard, but at the end of the day everyone calls him Dick.
Yupp, 80 definitely got me in Northwestern--sounds like you're talking about yourself again
Maybe you could tell the Pens tonight they should blame the refs for being down 6-0 after 1
