I'll take the resume of, say, Ken Pomeroy or Jeff Sargarin over your largely unverifiable claims of excellence. Lol at "nerdy spreadsheet shit." Is this 2005 again? In any event, it's clear that you're not a fan of objective reality. So let's see what the subjective rankings are:
Why, you're downright vindicated, if you consider ranking above, by the slimmest amount possible, Indiana (AP, Coaches) and Mississippi State (AP), and no other teams, to be vindication. Now that the objective and subjective evidence is in, let's add up the score. That's 9 teams on each of 5 ranking systems, so there are 45 possible points (and we're not taking into account margin of victory or degree by which you were off, so this analysis favors you more than a truly objective inquiry):
- KenPom: 0/9 points
- Sargarin: 0/9 points
- BPI: 1/9 points
- AP: 2/9 points
- Coaches: 1/9 points.
All told, I give you 4 of 45 possible points. You were thisclose, but I rate your claim debunked.
