personally, i don't agree with the theory stated that simply (ie, can't beat team 3x one season). that said, i think that it's a great thing to track to try and figure out what out what else should be involved in the analysis. seems like the beginning of a potential system, not the final version. BOL to you and will be very interested to see what you find. if nothing else, we confirmed Monday that no one tracked this accurately long-term, and someone should.
