He purports that it is an AVERAGE of both in and out of conference ranked teams on the schedule.

Dang, maybe you should go hang out with lsumatt and get some remediation


Dude, you're saying I need remediation when you can't do the simple math? LOL.

Let me break it down 1 more time, read it SLOWLY.

Ruffalo says the AVERAGE PAC 10 team plays 5.1 ranekd teams on there schedule.

ONLY 3 teams in the PAC 10 finished in the top 25.

SOOOOOOOO, that means each PAC 10 team played EXACTLY 2 ranked teams in conference.

Now, that means, if Ruffalo's numbers are right, the AVERAGE PAC 10 team would have to play 3.1 ranked teams out of conference.

But the PAC 10 only plays 3 games out of conference.

In case you haven't figured out by now, that is actually impossible.

Does that make sense for you, or do I need to explain 1 more time?????

Now go sit in the corner with Ruffalo and admit defeat.

Prayers sent.

One team plays 6 ranked teams
another team plays 4 ranked teams
another plays 3 ranked teams:

The average of ranked teams played is: 4.33

It doesn't mean each team actually PLAYED 4.33 teams that were ranked.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.

Just trying to break this down a bit.

quote:

Last season The PAC-10 played an average of 5.1 ranked teams per team.


If 5.1 was the average, that means at least 1 PAC 10 team had to play MORE than 5 ranked teams.

So, can you please link me to which PAC 10 team played 6 ranked teams last year???

The simple answer is NONE did. Without looking, I wonder if any PAC 10 team even played 5 ranked teams last year, much less the entire conference averaging over 5.

Looks like I can lump you in with all of the espin sheep who just eat up the hype. But when you look at the facts it tells a whole different story


LOLZ at Ruffalo's version of the facts.

Is this really happening right now??? LOL.

Are you saying the AVERAGE PAC 10 team did indeed play 5.1 ranked teams.

You don't realize it's not even possible for that to be true. And yet you're throwing insults around(which is basically admitting defeat). THAT is the funny part.

If you go according to the final rankings, not only did the AVERAGE PAC 10 team not play 5.1 ranked teams, NO SINGLE PAC 10 team played over 5 ranked teams.

So, you and Ruffalo can sit around and make up stats all you like, but it's really not hard to refute those stats.

Funny how you're not trying to prove me wrong.

I take it you realize I'm right, so you're just saying shite that has NOTHING to do with the main point.

That's probably the best thing you can do at this point, given how laughably wrong you 2 are.

I believe you are right. In your own mind, that is. Whatever floats your boat man.

This sort of meaningless debate is just perfect for the last week prior to football season. Keep em coming.

No, I am right.

You're quite delusional if you think the AVERAGE PAC 10 team played 5.1 ranked teams last year.

Actually, let's simplify it. If the average is 5.1, then at least 1 team had to play 6 ranked teams, correct?

Which team was that?

Again, check the numbers for yourself, and then get back to me. Heres the formula.

Number of teams 10
Number of ranked teams played by those 10 teams x
x/10= average ranked teams played

now for the SEC
Number of teams 12
Number of ranked teams played by those 12 teams y
y/12= average ranked teams played.

Id do it but I have to get to class. And no, it aint math class.

It's a very high probability if both teams are available. The Networks are about ratings and money, book it if it is possible.

I wonder why they would be stuck on it?


Becasue many LSU fans, despite another NC in 2007, reamin insecure about 2003, falsely believeing that USC's 2003 AP NC somehow tarnishes LSU's 2003 coaches NC. The FACT that USC has rolled since 02 does not help either.
