Silly? You can't be serious.It is silliness to think that the number of members determines the number ranked.

I guess you missed my follow-up post. Maybe you should read it before you prove yourself to be so idiotic.Yet he regarded by many as a top coach
"Many" being who, a minority percentage of Pitt fans that post on this board?
If you were to say he was regarded by many as a top defensive coordinator, you'd be accurate. But he's on nobody's list of top college football head coaches.
I'm sure your opinion is worth more than others.As does the Coastal, and really the whole ACC outside of one and occasionally two programs.
Funny that have a conference champ as average and a team that has never won their conference ranked above them.The same as the ACC for the most part. Lets face it this is how the 2 conferences looked like over the past 10 years
ACC Big Ten
The class of the conference
Clemson Ohio St
Michigan
Better than the rest not as good as the top dogs
Florida St Penn St
ND but we know their agreement
Average
Pitt Wisky
North Carolinia Iowa
Miami Mich St
Suck Feast
Everyone else
I know fans are going to say FSU is better than PSU. The highs were certainly higher, but their lows were very bad. PSU while never reaching the playoffs, never fell off to trash either.
Dead serious.Silly? You can't be serious.
The one where you identified the "many" that "regard" Narduzzi as a "top coach"?I guess you missed my follow-up post. Maybe you should read it before you prove yourself to be so idiotic.
No room left in there for me. It's overcrowded as is.You can include yourself in the #2 category.
It doesn't take a math wiz to conclude an eight-team conference performing the same or better than the bigger conference rankings doesn't make it widely inferior.Dead serious.
In 2006:
The B12 had 12 schools and had only 2 ranked.
The B10 had 11 schools and had 4 ranked.
The Pac10 had 11 schools and had 3 ranked.
The SEC had 12 schools and had 6 ranked.
Since you're a math wiz, tell me the correlation between conference size and numbers of ranked teams.
These aren't "rankings." These are computer generated standings based upon SOS. Do you understand how SOS is generated?LOL.
In 2006, the conference played 5 games OOC against ranked teams. They went 2-3 with Louisville getting the only wins. Louisville was certainly good but conference as whole was not, despite these silly rankings.
Okay Terrance Howard..My math was perfect.
PITT's SOS since being in the ACCPitt's ACC schedule is far and away harder than their Big East schedule.
I chose 1 and said I could find more.The one where you identified the "many" that "regard" Narduzzi as a "top coach"?
I guess I did miss that.
You fill half the room.No room left in there for me. It's overcrowded as is.
I guess you couldn't find the correlation. No surprise there.It doesn't take a math wiz to conclude an eight-team conference performing the same or better than the bigger conference rankings doesn't make it widely inferior.
Yeah I do. I don't like them any more than I like the computer generated results for the basketball tournament.These aren't "rankings." These are computer generated standings based upon SOS. Do you understand how SOS is generated?
If my math was wrong, it should be easy to prove. Yet you didn't. Hmmm.Okay Terrance Howard..
I really don't think you understand how data scientists like Saragin, Massey, Billingsley, etc. work..Yeah I do. I don't like them any more than I like the computer generated results for the basketball tournament.
If my math was wrong, it should be easy to prove. Yet you didn't. Hmmm.
You still haven't been able to show anything except your opinion.I really don't think you understand how data scientists like Saragin, Massey, Billingsley, etc. work..
You're basically saying "my subjective eye is superior to what the data says."
The fact that you can't decipher the difference between an 8 team conference vs a 12 team one tells me you shouldn't be deep diving into mathematics.
I don't follow basketball.You still haven't been able to show anything except your opinion.
Did you agree with the computer system rankings in BB?
I chose 1 and said I could find more.I chose 1 and said I could find more.
Why don't you show me some credible rankings where he is shows poorly rather than disparage proof of my claim.
Your bias is showing ... again.
How convenient.I don't follow basketball.
I do agree with SOS in virtually every other sport though.
There was no opinion. I literally showed multiple data points that completely refute your subjective pov.
You're right. The post is gone. The post to which I replied must have been deleted.I chose 1 and said I could find more.
Repost it then please. I don't see that anywhere in the thread.
What's your definition of a "top coach"? Top 5? 10? 20? 30? 50?
You're right. The post is gone. The post to which I replied must have been deleted.
It showed a Sporting News ranking of all D1 coaches that had Narduzzi at #17 after being #28 the prior year.
Football coaches ranked
I consider anyone in the top 30 a top coach. Certainly, anyone at #17 in the top 20 is a top coach.

LOLAnyone capable of hiring Cignetti and overseeing that fiasco last year is somewhere around 50…….the total lack of judgment and abdication of responsibility for a personnel decision of the utmost importance is beyond mind boggling…..his lack of knowledge of offensive FB is incredible. A guy around as long as him should have picked up more about offense by osmosis.
There is no question that rankings like this are subjective. My point was that others with an outsider perspective rank Narduzzi higher than many of Pitt's fans who love to wallow in negativity.Okay, and that's from 2023. Using that same site, he's now at #28:
https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nca...es-1-134-2024-season/6788d882a514f630285538c3
And that's even after guys like Harbaugh, Saban, etc. are no longer coaching.
But let's be realistic: it's impossible to rank 134 coaches in a way that is anything close to accurate. I just talked to a former player the other day who sounded like he would have had Narduzzi closer to 100 and said he was more of a defensive coordinator than a head coach. In both cases, it's simply an opinion. In my opinion, they should be evaluated by where they have the program vs what its baseline is. To me, Narduzzi inherited a 7-5 program and maintained that standard. He's been okay... decent... pretty good... acceptable... whatever terms you want to use to indicate the fact that he hasn't been bad or been all that great. Have you seen any big fish come sniffing for him in the last 9.5 years? I have not. There were some MSU rumors, but they were basically at rock bottom at the time.
Nothing funny about 3-9 and the terrible coaching that accounted for that disaster.
LOL. You're a funny guy who I just can't help laughing at.Nothing funny about 3-9 and the terrible coaching that accounted for that disaster.

There were no facts in your post. It was all opinion.When a Poster can’t refute facts, he resorts to personal attacks…that’s you in this instance. You couldn’t endure the heat in the kitchen and cracked like an egg.
3-9 season last year owing to a head coach who hired an incompetent OC, gave him complete free rein to make all personnel decisions on offense, permitted the OC both to recruit and allow and incompetent player to start at QB for 5 games thereby cratering an entire season….those are Facts. 2 losing seasons out of 9, , one .500 season, 7 out of nine seasons with a minimum of 5 losses….more facts. Your opinion on Narduzzi holds no water! None…just accept the fact you’re wrong.There were no facts in your post. It was all opinion.
LOL
The only fact in your points about last is the record. Otherwise, it is all opinion.3-9 season last year owing to a head coach who hired an incompetent OC, gave him complete free rein to make all personnel decisions on offense, permitted the OC both to recruit and allow and incompetent player to start at QB for 5 games thereby cratering an entire season….those are Facts. 2 losing seasons out of 9, , one .500 season, 7 out of nine seasons with a minimum of 5 losses….more facts.
