That link doesn't work and it's one person. I asked for multiple, since that's what you implied.

ETA: Some respected names would be nice too. Not just some guy no one has heard of outside of the Carolina's.

Well then tRant is going to be an epically shittastic and horrible place to be this year.

Thanks for fricking it up for all of us, losers.

NC State would beat BYU

LSU would beat South Carolina

Fair? Fair. That's what I've thought all along.

I just don't think any team is SIGNIFICANTLY better than us right now other than Bama.

I've watched a lot of college football over the years. His name doesn't ring a bell.

Anyone who picked NC State to make the playoffs in 2017 should automatically be assumed to be a North Carolina personality.

It's quite absurd.

to be fair if his pick wasn't a part of the rhetoric we kept hearing leading up to our game idk that I would know who he is.

Lol putting that UT "education" to work. Except you're wrong. "Mean" is the type of average this chart uses. "Mode" is the type of average the poster you replied to expected, where the school would be ranked at the position they received the most votes. I believe the actual formula is to average (using the mean) each school's votes then rank them 1-14 on that. Good effort though.

Cubelic is a sideline reporter for SECN. How do you not know his name after this weekend? He was the one who had the run-in with the ref.

Yes, that's the short way of saying it, but mode is technically a type of mathematical average.

Also, not Asian...or even a Vandy student. Went to Auburn for engineering cause $57k is expensive.

Googled it. Ran into the ref in the arkansas vs Florida a&m game? Didn't bother watching that.

As a CPA, Median is usually my favorite metric

Yeah I had that game on but can't say I was paying much attention to it. Is it his first year?

"There's a right answer and a wrong answer, so let's split the difference"

Median works well depending on the distribution type. For data sets with heavy tails, the median can be extremely misleading.

Compared to some metrics people try to throw out though, the median isn't the worst option though
