Hollinger Power Ranking....Utah Jazz ranked 12th WTF???

[Lakers_Slapper]

I know its just one guys opinion, but this seems a little harsh. Just curious to see the difference of opinions out there. What do yall think about this?

This is the one response to this I make a year. Hollinger's rankings are a formula. It's mathematics. It's not his opinion. A computer, using his formula, generates his 'opinion' daily. I'm not smart enough to quibble with his math. His ranking is a thing I look at from time to time, like lots of things I look at, and it's just a thing. But it does weigh heavily scoring margin which, according to studies I also don't have the knowledge to question, is apparently meaningful, and we're obviously not that great in that department.

You just ought to save this post somewhere with quick and easy access so you can copy and paste it.

Hell, maybe I should do that.

When was the list compiled? If it was before the road trip I could see his point, but after? Jazz might not be playing a complete game of outstanding basketball but nobody can take away the achievement of going out there and knocking off playoff teams on the road. I'd say that puts us top 5, maybe even top 3 right now.

13 now. We dropped a spot after winning. That's how we roll in the 801.

The rankings are redone every day.

We were #20 before the Miami game. We are being held down by those first two blowout games.

And win margin plays a big factor in the rankings. Lets face it, we are not blowing teams out right now.

This. Let's see how we fare over the next 14, 12 of which are at home.

Rockets are 1 spot ahead of the Jazz at a record of 2-6 (as of Nov. 14th). If that doesn't show how fatally flawed those rankings are, I don't know what does. At some point, common sense has to take over. But, that's Hollinger for you.
