  1. People aren't thinking this through. They think it's a good game to play if you a have a 60% chance to win. It's still not.
  2. Playoff expansion will not help this issue.
  3. Hopefully we can get Longhorn-shaped Cheez-Its as a consolation.
  4. It's BYU, they shouldn't lose at all. I just use it as a corollary to show SOS/SOR. It puts the figures into numbers that any people can understand. The truth is the committee values SOR highly, and Tech's would be terrible with two losses.
  5. I still think Tech doesn't have the schedule to weather another loss. 2-2 vs Top 40 teams is a terrible look when all the bubble teams (except ND) have beaten more top 40 than Tech has played.
  6. What makes you think that exactly? Notre Dame hasn't proven shit.
  7. One is 3-2 vs Top 40 One is 3-2 vs Top 15
  8. But they moved up over aggy, so it's all good.
  9. They put us in the lowest spot that could possibly be justified.
  10. You have made like 6 posts here, all political. Go back to your hole.
  11. Or dump ND, which is the correct decision. Thread is freaking flying. I'm like the 3rd person to say this.
  12. It implies around 15%, but it's the movement that is intriguing. We started the day under 5%.
  13. Our FD odds are an exact mirror of Bama. So should we interpret that as Bama loses = we are in (according to the books)?
  14. My stance is that you can't name 5 active coaches better, and the ones you do name aren't available at all. So what's the point?
  15. Shhhh ...let the dude shoot his shot.
  16. Risk vs reward. It's mutually beneficial to cancel the game even if both teams expect to win.
  17. There are underwriting standards they adhere to. They don't perfectly split the money but they also can't set up positions against the money coming in.
  18. Yeah...which goes back to my other post about betting on something that people decide. For a commitee that started formal discussions yesterday and probably already has concluded.
  19. Money always drives the odds. Even to form the opening lines, Vegas has private early openings and the money bet during those drives the public openings.
  20. It bugs me that sportbooks allow betting on something that gets decided. That doesn't have the randomness of a sporting event or race. You can have inside knowledge about like a player being sick during practice, but it doesn't guarantee a win still. Inside knowledge in this case...
  21. Comp teams are: Virginia, Clemson, Arizona State, South Carolina. It's LOL that one of those teams has 4 wins and one is likely the ACC Champ. Florida is #37 in my power ratings. They were #31 before they fired Billy. They aren't a great team, but they are competent.
  22. On the right track, but the problem is the scheduling not the postseason. There should be a standard, even if it's not bullet proof. Notre Dame played 5 Top 40 teams. Texas Tech played 3 Top 40 teams. We literally don't have enough data points to form a solid opinion regardless of the postseason format.
  23. Cam rambles a lot on his show (to fill time, I believe), but he has solid takes and football knowledge.
