| bwbarksdale | don't be confused by interval...we can't say that the strength of the #1 ranked team vs #2 ranked team is the same as the strength of the #50 team over the #51 team. |
| bobert | I understand that, but my question is that rank is generally determined by wins and losses. Wouldn't that make it interval? |
| Meka76 | The key word is "RANK"; we already know that ordinal is associated with ranking. We are asked "...the rankings are what level of measurement?" not what are the wins or losses for the teams. |
| jlevee | Bobert, no it is not. Otherwise Auburn would've been the national champion in 2003 when they went undefeated...instead they finished #2 in the polls. |
| Shaan23 | jlevee...thats hilarious....and true |
