Message: [QUOTE="fieldystick, post: 5066647, member: 8152"] Preseason polls are a very strong indicator in general of how much talent there is on a team. I think they are in many ways useless because they "poison" a season, but they reflect with decent correlation how things are actually going to go. [ATTACH alt="Screen Shot 2024-05-01 at 7.45.12 PM.jpg"]240711[/ATTACH] - I think 4 of those 8 teams who were "on paper" before the season better than Syracuse... are actually better than Syracuse. I absolutely [B][I]can [/I][/B]answer which ones I think are better and why, but I am not here to answer that. It only ever got brought up in the first place because of a misunderstanding and then my trying to show why it was not in Syracuse's interests that we suddenly go to subjective selection! It's clear that there was a misunderstanding, and that I do not want to talk about it any further. It's not why I'm here. It's not my area of expertise. It's not how I think we should be doing things. [/QUOTE]
