Predictors by the computer rating systems...for today's game

Duke isn't very good, they lost...clearly overrated.  Because a one game result in a NCAA tournament game is the right sample size.  LOL...and you are a numbers guy.   By the way, divorce rate closer to 40% than 50%, in fact not close.

1) Vegas is an excellent predictor. "Vegas means jack" is a sad, sad misstatement.
2) OK.. then please do tell us what the "RPI using the Sagarin Predictor Method" is and how you come up with 1.4 (which happens to be what a website that simply using the Sagarin PREDICTOR comes up with).
3) I still believe Villanova is overrated, New Mexico isn't very good and that the divorce rate is closer to 50% than it is to 30%. Those statements are quite different than saying, "RPI predicts MU by 1.4" when it doesn't predict anything or saying that Sagarin predicts "X" when it doesn't, it actually predicts "Y".

Everyone makes mistakes. It's just that a lot of yours are unbelievably foolish and repeated over and over and over again...

lol.. I said the divorce rate is closer to 50% than it is to 30%.

You never did explain what the "RPI using the Sagarin Predictor Method" was or where it was from. Just that it wasn't from rpiforecast..

Anyway, my points are the same as they always were -> Nova was overrated and highly susceptible to a "surprising" loss.... New Mexico was just not very good. And, I believe the divorce rate is running closer to 50% than it is to 30%.

Hope things go well for Ben here if he's the guy. Capable hands, I say.

lol.. I said the divorce rate is closer to 50% than it is to 30%.

Came across this article today about a new book on marriage and divorce rates.  Researcher says it is  to 20% to 25%.  ""First-time marriages: probably 20 to 25 percent have ended in divorce on average," Feldhahn revealed. "Now, okay, that's still too high, but it's a whole lot better than what people think it is."

Shaunti and Jeff point out the 50 percent figure came from projections of what researchers thought the divorce rate would become as they watched the divorce numbers rising in the 1970s and early 1980s when states around the nation were passing no-fault divorce laws.

"But the divorce rate has been dropping," Feldhahn said. "We've never hit those numbers {50%}. We've never gotten close."
