That's bad. Real bad. Sagarin just needs to get out of the business if that's the best he can do.Quote:

Most of our fans were wrong too. Good to be this wrong.Quote:

That is why it should probably wait until the 4th week to start being published. He could call it something else before that.Quote:

Wow.
We just need to score 40 points every week and we should win. 😏
Can't wait to see projections
They even shocked me....I think the ratings are now connected because there is no other explanation for the changes. That would mean the starting rankings are no longer being factored in.Quote:

Just out of curiosity, if we were to win out what does it predict for a matchup with MTSU or Marshall in the championship game?
On a neutral field, Tech and Marshall essentially even …Marshall by less than half a point. Tech favored by 1 point against MTSU on neutral field.
But the championship game is not at a neutral site...Quote:

Both teams are projected to finish 8-0 in their divisions, and Marshall projected unbeaten should be the higher ranked team in the playoff rankings to give it the homefield advantage.
Tech would be favored over Middle Tennessee regardless of game site...by 14.79 in Ruston and by 7.65 in Murfreesboro.
If Tech finishes conference play at 8-0, it would host a championship game if the East Division winner is not 8-0 in conference.
. Believe CUSA championship played in w va this year. That said--- 1 friggin game at a time-- yesterday was most losses of ranked teams in history according to espn ( not always reliable). Do like fact we have 2 bye weeks-- chance to heal wounds--Quote:
