I think I can answer part of my own post. I had mentioned before that TCHCR may rate good teams that have played tough competition a little more harshly than another poll would (like CHODR) because of the game outcome measure (GOM). The effect of the GOM is not as severe as I had implied before because the GOM basically gives the winning team +1 point and the losing team -1 point. I'm not quite sure what the effect of this GOM is in cases of widely varying strength-of-schedules, but it can behave unpredictably. Second moral of the story: TCHCR and CHODR tell different but equally important stories. - Stephen Leroy (Cornell '88)
