(Or vice-versa.) My belief - not proven - is that coaches generally schedule to the same strength year after year. Some coaches like creampuff schedules, others like to play world-beaters year after year. However, sooner or later, numbers like that would simply adjust for the quality of competition over the long run.pthttp://atlantadreamblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595059113916595813.post-3261638344614728742009-10-12T17:05:51.919-04:002009-10-12T17:05:51.919-04:00The problem with using a system like that for coll...The problem with using a system like that for college coaches is the extreme variability of opponents.pilightnoreply@blogger.com
