Recently, you asked mwhy I was carrying water for the SEC”.

That means that you view the purpose of commentary is to“carry water” for your side. Meaning you highlight information that puts your side in the best light. Picking out a few games to make a point is carrying water. Worse teams occasionally win games. Called upsets. Doesn’t mean the team that was upset was overrated. The games you keep cherry picking are in the data set. Over 55 games, the SEC wins 2/3 of the games and their lower end teams play in more of the inter conference games and our higher end teams play in more. If you created round-robin schedules with 10 teams each matching Top, Middle and Bottom tiers from each conference there’s a good chance that the ACC would finish in the bottom five of each of those tiers.
