~~~ABCDEs - Ranking puzzle...~~~

C lost to D... You chose to disregard that fact, despite you pointed it out.

 

C's win over A is greater than D's win over C. They both share a victory over E. Thus C is clearly ranked over D. Not that hard to figure out in my opinion.

 

D only lost to the top dogs. C was very inconsistant.

 

I'm sorry but mathematically analyzing data must not be your strong point.
You are saying that a win over number 4 and 5 is better than a win over number 1 and 5. Do you realize this?

 

If you choose to read my post you will see that I answer every question you may have in it.

 

It also depends on how much you value the H2H win though.

 

You are jumping the gun.

By his calculations, your #4 is his #2. You would need to have already figured out and agreed on your math to make your statement.

As I said, there are a ton of variables.

 

All we were provided with is head to head wins! This is mathematically easy to figure out.

 

I never said we were provided with anything more than Head to head. I am saying how much VALUE you place on one fighter beating another when doing your rankings seems to be different than his.

 

To you he was no .2. You can't disregard the fact that he beats the very fighter you praise.

 

He is stating D should be rated above C. What that means is that in his ratings C is rated 4 and E is rated 5. Thus, they both share a win over #5 while D has a second win over his #4 and C has a win over his #1. Not jumping the gun at all. I don't understand the confusion.

edited to put the correct letter in.

 

Huh what? The open spaces or how I came the conclusion D is number 4?
