Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2967079, member: 2133"] Being in the ACC does a lot of work in keeping SU's ranking high. [B]Simple[/B] Rating System (SRS) is simple for a reason and is dependent on strength of schedule and gives all games an equal weighting. Also, [URL='https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2015/03/srs-calculation-details/']based on the description [/URL]of the tool by Sports Reference, you're using it wrong. Also, a lot of teams go through ups and downs. A lot is dependent on coaching changes which can happen [I]even after a decent season[/I]. That limits a lot of schools who might have been decent for 8 years, coach retired or was fired, had a couple of down years, and then had a nice run of 4-5 seasons. Boeheim has managed to keep SU with a winning record for a lot of years. A lot of teams don't get the kind of consistent support that JAB has had. Coaching changes hurt for long term consistency; there's often a transition year. [/QUOTE]
