Where Pitt ranks in CFB World

[saltydog8159]

Altimore's Graphs are usually an attempt to prove a narrative that he is trying to push. I'm not sure if anyone has fact checked one of his charts though

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Umm. That is your opinion.

No, it's not.

At this point it's pretty obvious that you have no idea what the difference is between fact and opinion. Facts are simply things to be ignored if they don't fit your world view.

 

[bobfree]

The notion that opinions can't be wrong is in large part responsible for the dumbing down of this country.

100%

 

[NCPitt]

No, it's not.

Thanks for yet another opinion.

 

[NCPitt]

Correct, opinions on subjective issues can't really be wrong. On this issue, however, we have actual facts to look at. Do we have all the facts? No, of course not. But we have some of the facts. And this guy's opinion, and yours as well, are in direct opposition to the actual facts that we know.

But for some reason it makes you feel better to ignore the facts, so here we are.

I’m not going to argue this whole thing again. But I would be curious to know what facts you believe directly oppose the chart.

Bruhhhh. He has stated it in this thread.

The *fact* that the reality of expansion did not come close to playing out as the chart said it should, is evidence that the chart is not remotely close to reality.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Bruhhhh. He has stated it in this thread.

Yeah, but the facts I pointed out don't coincide with his opinion, so they don't really count.

 

[NCPitt]

Yeah, but the facts I pointed out don't coincide with his opinion, so they don't really count.

Yeah, those facts align with the chart. So I don't see the problem you have with it.

So what you are saying is that either you can't read, or you are too dumb to understand what you are reading. Good to know.

Just look at his numbers. Which school was the 3rd most attractive in the PAC12? And what happened to them after the first two schools on the list left? That isn't the only problem with the numbers, but if you can manage to figure out the answer to that question you'll at least be on your way to having a minimal understanding.

See, that's where your "facts" go astray.

Is it a fact that Washington is essentially tied with Stanford? You ignored that fact.
Is it a fact that Washington and Oregon as a pair represent a different market than California? You ignore that fact.
Is it a fact that the B1G wanted different markets rather than just California? You have no idea.
Is it a fact that Stanford was not offered? You have no idea.
The facts are that 5 of the 6 teams that moved to other conferences were the 5 top teams in the chart (Washington so close to Stanford to be insignificant) and the 6th (Oregon) was likely chosen to have a geographic partnership, besides being essentially tied for 7th with Cal.
The fact is that attractiveness is not the sole determinant when a specific conference is looking for geographic partners.
The fact is that your argument is nonsense.

You could have saved everyone a lot of time in reading that by just posting "I have no idea what I'm talking about."

Because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Buddy - your entire premise is the list is not right - but ya know - I will argue it is . Hint, if you have to say almost as equivalent, then shift criteria for the next point - it’s time to take a knee.
Saying nothing is free

Hmmm… interesting where Big 12 teams rank. Pitt would be high level in Big 2 conference

throw out the meaningless Institutional Resources and Academic Success data point (as it is totally meaningless in the age of the mercenary college athlete) and re-run the numbers...
