No,....give us his preseason rankings if he is an expert,...not postseason where he gets to pick his best lines from the best teams.
But even if he was/is doing a great job,...his postseason data is tarnished. In any educational field or argument, we can't use his data because it's possibly corrupted, due to the fact that he personally sells subscriptions that are tied to his "personal-opinion" (not calculated) rankings.
Perhaps your HS teachers didn't get into it very much but we can't sit here and rely on his information due to conflict-of-interest. Now being legalized, betting is a thing now, and he doesn't hide the effort of trying to draw in people that are perhaps a little addicted to gambling. This is his audience,...and he has to appease them,...not form and share his unadulterated opinion.
Yac's rankings -- as an example -- are more credible because he is not here making a dime from putting this stuff in excel, sorting it, and sharing it.
It is not about whose "rankings" are more "predictive" (of a future that has already happened btw ). It is about credibility. We have to start there.
You clearly are a politician just based on your posting style and willingness to ignore those that don't fall for such tricks,...but yeah. No more about the guy selling subscriptions and his postseason (not preseason) rankings.
