Current Pomeroy Rankings

[UKnCincy]

We haven't played Monmouth , I never said if this one beget that one then that one should beget this one captain dumbass . One poster cherry picked a sentence and made everything I said to culminate into that component . You tried to then morph it I to something I never said . I laughed when you tried to champion a kenpom win when we already plowed your field , make sure to tell me how you're a UK fan .

Responding to the thesis statement of your reply is not cherry picking. It is addressing the heart of your argument.

Again, if want you to believe we are a better team than Duke or Louisville, that's fine. I don't necessarily believe that to be the case. Three of our losses have been to very bad teams. And I wasn't particularly impressed with the Louisville win. I don't think this team is awful, and they certainly have time to improve, but I would say their place in the rankings isn't that far off.

I thought we were done but you want more so here we go again . You did cherry pick and then another poster attributed comments that I never made . I said head to head , read that again , head to head , head to head in case you forgot and I never said that was the end all be all to compare every team . We also never played Monmouth , apparently the triad doesn't know our schedule but that's what happens when you rely on a computer . Three of you were so desperate that you tried to lie because you couldn't prove your computer to be the end all of determining who's better .

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Duke has lost two straight.

 

[The_Answer1313]

We just lost to Auburn.

By your logic, Auburn is better than us.

Let's see UK beat Duke so
Rank...
...UK
...duke

Duke beat IU
Rank...
...UK
...Duke
...IU


IU beat Ohio St
Rank...
...UK
...Duke
...IU
...OSU

So head to head only... that is the ranking.

But Ohio St beat UK So they can't be below UK based on head to head.

My point?

You see head to head doesn't rank teams except in March!

I'm not sure you understand what cherry picking means. Your statement I responded to was:

"You made good points but it still makes no sense to have a teams you beat ranked higher [sic]."

That was the thesis of your argument, and it is an illogical position. That is what prompted my reply. As for Monmouth, that's between you and the other poster. I didn't ever bring them into the argument.

Lastly, as to your allegation that I have lied, I'm not aware of where I've done that. If you would point that out to me, I'd be happy to apologize for it.

Holy ish , am I in the twilight zone where everybody is incapable of discerning a post ? Wtf is this place ? AGAIN , I never said anything like what you posted . I have posted that many times now but apparently that is the tactic of the day , just make stuff up and pretend . UK hasn't played IU and just because they beat OSU doesn't mean they have the match ups to beat UK . Your little box of chips can't see motivation as I have already stated , meaning OSU played much harder against UK than IU as most teams do . That's what the computer can't see and never will . The next dummy that claims I said this best that one so that one can beat the other one is on ignore because you either can't get it or don't want to , I'm not going to hold anyone's hand and walk them through this again .

I think everyone understands what your saying. IU never played UK so we have don't know whether they would be ranked higher or lower.

But what your missing is if you follow the logic of:
"You made good points but it still makes no sense to have a teams you beat ranked higher [sic]."

Well then you have to place the teams somewhere. And since IU beat OSU they have to be better than them right? So they need to be ranked higher. And if OSU beat UK, well then they have to be ranked higher cause they beat them. Well then even tho UK never played IU, IU would have to be rated higher in a ranking system based on your logic even tho UK never played IU

 

[The_Answer1313]

How do you know whether OSU "played much harder" against UK than they did IU?

I don't doubt there's a factor to get jacked up against the big name teams but I question the extent of it.

Maybe they played just as hard against IU. Maybe IU is just better than UK at this point.

You ignored everything I've said in this thread to seize upon once sentence that gave you a modicum of traction , I know for a fact that you have no clue what cherry picking means if you cannot grasp that . Head to head is one component , I have mentioned multiple factors in this thread that can determine why a team would win over another but you've conveniently ignored everything . You're not trying to have an honest discussion , you simply try to pluck one sentence and make it the only comment I've ever said . I have determined that every conversation with you will have the same theme , it's ok I'll fix it for us .

OSU also lost by 20 to Uconn and 35 today to Maryland.

What's more likely? They weren't playing hard in any of those games or maybe they just aren't good?

 

[the nail at the foul line]

We just lost to Auburn.

By your logic, Auburn is better than us.

UL lost to auburn?

By watching , notice how teams play like bums but are final four contenders against us . That's happened every year , if you don't notice that then I don't know what to tell you at this point . If you don't acknowledge that then you aren't interested in an honest discussion . Throw up a poll on whether teams play harder against us than their other opponents and see what the results are . There's always some kind of color out when play on the road with environments that aren't duplicated at that school all year . Packed arenas for us but huge pockets of empty seats for other teams but you question elevated play against us ?

All I know is that we lost to Auburn and we will never have any post game this season.

Did your computer say we were better than Auburn ? At least I knew that a motivated team could pull an upset . You also tried to attribute one comment I made that is part of a large argument as the lone factor , you can join the other imbecile .

Yeah 9 points better than Auburn. Also said 20% chance we lose. See so the computer too knows very well that sometimes teams play above their talent level.

The best team doesn't always win. Which is why your logic is severely flawed.

Actually, I responded to your second post in this thread. You then responded to my post with what I quoted above. I had ignored nothing you had posted prior to that.

And seizing upon one sentence is not cherry picking if that one sentence is the crux of your argument. It is addressing your point head on. The simple fact that a response centers on one sentence, does not mean that it is also cherry picking. They are not one and the same.

Everything that followed that sentence within that same post was your evidence to support that thesis statement. My response was to point out the more fundamental flaw the lies beneath your supporting evidence.

I would like to know where I have lied though.
