  1. Except in a model this wide, there will always be teams that exceed their predictions based on what the selected inputs are. The obvious issue with this specific model is it only looks at the end of game stats and not necessarily the game situations (the obvious example is OU). It’s a good model, but seeing people take it as gospel is what rubs a lot of people the wrong way. It’s decent as a predictor, but note that Bill uses the opening lines and not those closer towards the end of the week. Last I checked on Todd Beck’s prediction tracker, it’s behind FPI and Saragon. I think it gets its infallibility from Bill having a great podcast (PAPN) and a lot of the blogs in CFB coming from SBNations platform which obviously would push it.
  2. Should we point to S&P+ whenever Texas knocks off OU? Or USC? or TCU? Seems like the whole SBNation gang is down to do pop shots whenever that happens, but how about their predictions for App State/Georgia Southern, Miami/BC, etc etc?
  3. I think 90% of the board would have dreamed of that record after Maryland. He's proven he's a good coach, as has Orlando even with his fuck-ups.
  4. Two cracks at it is going to better than none had they actually called the penalty. And the reason why it's so frustrating is that it's so clearly against the rules. It's absolutely a simulated snap, which should automatically be a flag, but the guard also moved. For them to call it on Texas is just a complete disgrace. I've seen C-USA reffing almost every week with UTEP, and even those guys are better than the people we have in the Big XII.
  5. Except that play is absolutely critical. It directly lead to an OSU TD and prevented Texas from getting the ball back with more than a minute to play at the end of the half. To ignore how important it was is absurd, particularly given how well the team played in the second half.
  6. Two of those are bullshit with the fake punt and the defensive holding. Those methed out pieces of shit are going to get skull fucked in the only game they care about, so fuck them.
  7. In the end, it all came down to the Big XII refs calling offsides on a play when that simulated a fake snap and with one of the linemen moving. Fuck this conference. I can't wait to leave this piece of shit conference with it's meathead refs that don't understand the rules at all.
  8. Man, that was a great call by Elko
  9. Can we talk about how Green is hitting CJ early every time there's a pass?
  10. This game is just fucking over. Fuck this league so fucking much
  11. I think it'll be short based on how long it is taking
  12. OSU is 6-10 (or 7-11) on 3rd down. That's not good
  13. Thank you Gundy for not passing there
  14. ABC's coverage there is horrific. Doesn't show a replay, doesn't show an injury, and just talks about Barry Sanders during a pretty key moment of the game
  15. And a 25 yard run + a facemask. Can't do anything right
  16. Come on now, you haven't hog tied a guy in front of a train yet?
  17. Welp, this game is over. Hopefully the team realizes they're nowhere near a fucking playoff team and to stop reading their press clippings.
  18. It's hilarious how bad we are on 3rd down
  19. 256 yards and the quarter isn't even over. Go fuck yourself Orlando
  20. It's just too fucking easy when our CBs are this bad
  21. They are getting a huge push every play. Every level of defense has been horrific
  22. Here comes another TD. Thanks a lot Boyd and Davis
  23. What the fuck is our secondary doing? Two blown tackles lead to a first down then a TD
  24. It's such a beautiful game, but definitely a switch in pace from RDR or even GTA5. After the opening section, I've spent so, so much time in the town just exploring.
