Saratoga - Show Pat where losing to conference opponents, or teams with low winnng %, or where your only losses are to teams in the top 25 are NCAA ranking criteria and he will agree with you.
In your initial post you attacked those who do the rankings for not following their own criteria, being biased, being stupid, and having never played the game. Pat was just correctly pointing out why the criteria support the rankings, to which you bring up items --- while correct in support of Scranton as a better team --- are not criteria listed ( and therefor not used is my guess ) in the ranking process.
This is not Jay Bilas on ESPN talking about good wins and bad losses. There is no such thing in D3. Regional Win %, (Scranton/Moravian tied) strenght of schedule ( advantage Scranton), head to head,(advantage Moravian) wins against regionally ranked teams (advantage Moravian) seems to carry the day. Scranton has the advantage in only schedule as I see it.
