Sagarin's rating : Insights about the Raptors

[jerrywest]

Sagarin's rating, the best one in my opinion, has us ranked at #16.

At this point we are playing like a top 10 team though.

Toronto is 0-6 against top 10 team and 2-8 against top 16 teams. They are 9-2 with the bottom 14 teams which means they stick it to the bad teams, but can't hang with teams that are playing well. The only problem is we don't know which Hawks team will show up tonight?

That's pretty interesting stuff. How does our Sagarin rating compare against the same subsets?

The deeper the season gets the more reliablerankings/ratings like Sagarin and Hollinger's become.

Sorry. I should have given the link:

We are 3-5 against top 10 teams and 3-6 against top 16. We are too schizophrenic to go by this though. It depends on how much energy we have tonight.

Thanks - pretty interesting.

We're:

3-5 vs. Teams 1 through 10

0-1 vs. Teams 11-16

7-4 vs. Teams 17 and on down.

That's more impressive to me than I expected.
