The Intransitive Property

AITOOW hates it when sports talk show dips try and rate teams by the results of competitions between similar opponents? It has no useful application. Do you think a really good team gives as much effort against a cream puff? Or that the cream puff doesn't take the game twice as seriously? That means that, if the game were close, it is only because the better team sleep walked through the game. It doesn't mean they are close in talent. And it certainly doesn't mean that the mediocre team that took the cream puff seriously is nearly as good as the good team they are about to slaughtered by if the good team takes them seriously.
