Locke is in over his head in this stuff.

His offensive efficiency - defensive efficiency stat is a fancy way to say MOV. Which would be like using a computer model that had no SOS incorporated.

He tries to make up for SOS with his mid major rule, but he's just being stupid.

If you want to use a stat or a computer, just use a frickin computer model power ranking.

P.S. I just looked at MOV rankings. Gonzaga is #1, Memphis is #2, BYU is #9.

dumb dumb dumb

Apparently his model has been fairly accurate. 75% in the first round the last four years. 64% in the Final Four.

You'd have to compare those figures to how often you'd be right simply taking the favorite.

Trust me. I know what I'm talking about. Locke doesn't in this case.
