The Wake Forest basketball team currently has a 7-2 record, but they are only ranked 96th in the country by Ken Pomeroy's metrics. Those of you who read this blog on a regular basis know that myself and most of the other writers on this site are staunch believers in analytics. While I still am very pro-analytics, I truly do not care what they say about Wake Forest at this point in the season.
I don't always buy-in to Bill Parcells' famous line, "you are what your record says you are". I'm typically a very process-oriented person, and believe that over time good process will lead to good results.
