In response to AsiaSunset
Asia, you've highlighted a great argument in favor of the ratings. Just because Cornell can beat any team on any night doesn't mean they can beat every team on every night, or even most teams on most nights. That's what the ratings tell us: not that they'll never beat any of the top teams, but that it's less likely they will. I don't have the data available, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cornell is expected to collectively average one or two wins in their 8 games against HYPP, even if not favored in any of them individually. Isn't this what you're saying?
