The one you're referring to is GOLDEN_MEAN, which does use diminishing returns. PURE_POINTS does not.

Regardless, they BOTH factor in margin of victory, as I said, and the Sagarin composite rating uses both components.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Maryland sucks (nm) - Cosmo MU

They played in a tough division and went 6-6... - zounami MU - 12/26 14:37:17

I would have bet my house that you would bring it back - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 14:41:35

You're saying a team that did better than we did "sucks", so - zounami MU - 12/26 14:47:12

At least we beat Arkansas (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 12/26 14:51:43

Why is that? Can two teams not suck seperately? - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 14:48:59

To be fair, I think it's fairly obvious that your point - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 14:55:02

It had nothing to do with Mizzou, 100% honest about that. - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 14:57:45

Don't lie. - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 14:59:14

Give up, Zodiac. He's too dumb to detect sarcasm. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 14:59:44

You got me - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 14:59:41

You are so foolish!(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 15:02:10

I wonder if he finally realizes you're being sarcastic. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:03:24

Do you realize that the point of his sarcasm is to make - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:04:12

The irony is that, by not detecting his sarcasm, it made you - zounami MU - 12/26 15:05:52

It's always been clear Cosmo's been one of the top 3 dumbest - STL1DFW STL - 12/26 19:44:04

Don't forget madly hysterical and upset - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:03:05

Fans of 4-win teams should not be saying better, 6-win teams - zounami MU - 12/26 14:54:27

So because the football team I like sucked, I can't comment - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 14:55:35

You can, if you want to look foolish. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 14:57:21

Keep trolling away douche (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 14:58:13

Seriously, you need to calm down. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 14:58:26

lol the old trolling douche standard response (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:00:17

No, you're actually hysterical, dropping f-bombs etc. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:00:47

He sure is touting Miss St though. What a piece of work. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 12/26 14:43:00

If Mizzou had just won a bowl game and had a top 20 ranked - zounami MU - 12/26 14:46:33

Well Maryland didn't beat a team with a winning record - Uncle John MU

- 12/26 14:48:57

They have a significantly better Sagarin rating and record - zounami MU - 12/26 14:56:43

All because they were blown out by Ohio St,Michigan, and - Uncle John MU

- 12/26 15:09:36

The margin of those losses were factored into their rating.(nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:10:08

No they weren't.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 15:14:04

Is that a FACT zodiac? I like FACTS - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:17:14

Wrong. That was the ELO component used for BCS, which - zounami MU - 12/26 15:19:19

Those use scores. They do not use raw margin of victory. - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 15:37:42

And by the way, "scores" = margin of victory (semantics).... - zounami MU - 12/26 16:06:03

I like how you pretend to know the formula - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 16:31:40

As I've pointed out numerous times, that's why the - zounami MU - 12/26 16:48:22

Pointed out erroneously. (nm) - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 16:58:30

You can't stand being wrong. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 17:00:47

In this instance, I'm not.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 17:01:52

First of all, there are PURE_POINTS and GOLDEN_MEAN... - zounami MU - 12/26 15:58:28

No, I'm referring to both. - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 16:13:14

GOLDEN_MEAN was introduced to "dampen" huge margins - zounami MU - 12/26 16:23:04

That is incorrect. (nm) - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 16:32:32

It's correct. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 16:48:31

FACTS zodiac - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:45:40

vs. your obsolete "facts" from outdated articles. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:59:21

Yes they were. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:17:02

You look so foolish.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 15:18:11

except that your "facts" are wrong... - zounami MU - 12/26 15:20:09

We would smoke Maryland by four touchdowns (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 12/26 14:58:26

The only thing we can smoke is Del State - DeltfromSTL MU - 12/26 15:45:47

Based on what? Statistically, they are much better. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 14:58:43

You can ignore the teams they beat all you want. Arky - Uncle John MU

Thanks for pointing out that I was factually correct. And on - zounami MU - 12/26 15:07:18

Well they're both douches, so yes (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:46:39

Yes, yes he does (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:08:46

At least you have calmed down. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:09:36

This thread is like a wet dream for you - Cosmo MU

- 12/26 15:15:17

Because I'm pointing out FACTS? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:08:06

Because you're the type of guy to post about FACTS - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 15:09:22

You should try it some time. Facts are good. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/26 15:10:55

Sagarin ratings have them 14 spots ahead of us. - zodiac6 JC - 12/26 15:03:39
