Re: How to improve the Pairwise
I remember. The old "record in the last 16 games" factor used by the selection committee gave them a lot of flexibility.
I'm not a huge fan of this, even though I'm sure my team may have benefited from it a time or two.
Because most teams play primarily conference foes in the second half of the season, it's not a great "comparison" between teams, except of course teams from the same conference.
It also can paint a misleading picture. Say you have a pretty good team, with strong first half record, but then suffers some injuries. Maybe those players don't get back until about 4 games left in the regular season, at which point the team seems to have righted the ship and returned to form.
