north shore

A team that's given up 21, 17, 16, 16, 19, 22, 21, 33 and 26 this season.

If that's one of your examples then I think the general rule is valid.

You overlooked my first criteria in comparing and that is to compare OOS teams defenses vs common opponents.  I  offered two examples of that with similar defensive results. (Hoover vs allen and grayson and gorman vs cocoa and cedar hill)

Counter example 2015 Katy:

20, 17, 8, 7, 7, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

I'd say if you can only come up with one (or two) examples then the point stands.

If that's all you've got then that's pretty weak.

So one or two schools and one or two OOS examples.

That's awfully thin.

But isn't that exactly what you just did?

No.

I shot holes in one of the few teams he said played great defense.

North Shore does not play great defense.

So even his great defense examples are bad.

Hence if only Katy is good at defense I'd say the charge that Texas is soft on defense is well-supported.

No you didn't pick a whole as you didn't provide how their defense compared to anyone else, instate or otherwise vs those SAME opponents

That's not how you judge great defense.

There is a standard.

North Shore gave up 16 or more points in 9 of their 14 games.

Not great defense.

I said they have a GOOD defense, I didn't  say anything about being GREAT, they didnt get into shootouts with teams.  I'm making a comparison between NS and others.  I stated the whole argument was silly as you aren't comparing teams to common opponents.  I still stand by that.

Sorry but STA is just not in the conversation for Top 5 maybe even Top 10.

Here is their condensed  resume.

1. No Top 100 wins

2. Multiple losses.

 

bye

STA 0 top 100 wins; 2 top 500 wins; 2-losses (#3; #198)

DLS 1 top 100 win; 5 top wins; 1-loss (#19)

not making a case FOR DLS, but think it's absurd to discuss STA in top 5, much less #1 and ironic canes has an issue with DLS in top 50 while defending STA in top 10 -- the fact that they have 40 D1 players is irrelevant -- you can only play 11 and what matters is what they did

im OK having "recency" or "playoffs" influence the total resume, but you can't just say "well, that was a fluke, and so was that second loss, and these guys are so talented let's all ignore"

DLSPop two months ago:

"STA has zero top 500 wins"

DLSPop today:

"STA has zero top 100 wins"

DLSPop next weeK:

STA has zero top 50 wins"

Freedom, for lack of a better word, is garbage.

De La Salle beat two other garbage teams by 1-point. They beat 5-loss Antioch by 7.

I know you're not "making a case for them" but why are you mentioning them at all? They are so far off the radar it's not funny.

Nobody said they should be #1.

You're just making up things as you go.

I don't think a team that played a month of worth of football against 3 rejects and was only +7 is a top 50 team.

We all know you think that beating up on garbage teams like Freedom wipes the slate clean.

And it keeps getting better.

"The fact you have a lot of very good players is irrelevant to how good you are!"

They have 11 running clock wins and two losses by one play that could've easily have been reversed either by the officials or even luck.

Again you are welcome to be wrong on your evaluation. It's a regular Fall ritual for you.

STA has performed like a top 10 team pretty much all season.

Nobody has made a recency or playoff argument.

They've been that good all along.

The preseason polls had them #1 for a reason.

If not for two unfathomable flukes you'd be whining about their next national championship. Just be happy that it didn't happen, right?

Their resume is very comparable to Sta's according noting for close wins over marginal teams right around the time STA was losing to them

STA has zero 1-point, or 7-point wins. Their closest win was 26 points.

What the hell are you talking about?

STA lost a fluke to a very capable opponent on the road.

DLS beat three garbage teams by 7 or less.

You are delusional, Pop. No doubt.

It would have been redundant to say 0 top 100 wins when you didn't have any top 500 ones

But two months ago you said they had zero top 500 wins.

And now your critique is that they have zero top 100 wins.

So basically they don't have those wins, until they do.

And then you just adjust your criteria accordingly.

Except for losing to a lower rated team with more losses than any DLS team since mid 80s

as long as we can ignore flukes because, you know, how else to justify the result with 40 D1s

i happen to think ratings/ rankings should be on results that occurred not SHOULD HAVE occurred
