The line is from rough calculations where the algorithm is not great yet. So don't eat me up for it haha.
7/25 wins, and 2 that I honestly think could go either way.
Three
UTSA over Kansas State? you might want to start over, just kiddingOriginally Posted by Blue Dawg
Huh, didn't notice that. Lots of bugs in the whole-season prediction model.
Don't believe KState will be favored by 10. Maybe 3.
You have Army (and Indiana 2x & Vandy 2x) listed as P5.

If I remember correctly, CUSA fared well last season in OOC football games.Must be a clerical error
I was looking at the Sagarin ratings earlier this morning for the 5 sports rated (FB, MBB, WBB, Baseball, Softball). Sagarin is the best indicator of team strength. It is last year's rankings, but Tech will probably be favored in 10 football games, as Sagarin is usually very close to the opening betting lines. Of course, the odds makers also factor in what point spread will result in even money.
I did notice that Tech is rated higher than @ Lafayette in 3 of the 5 sports. Based on research done by someone, Tech has a large advantage in head to head competition in the other sports as well. I know @ Lafayette folks are fond of citing a recent CBS poll (polls are seldom accurate) , but I don't know why they have the idea that @ Lafayette has passed Tech in overall athletics. Leaving hype and emotion out of the equation, the @ Lafayette people are clearly mistaken in their claim.
I'm sure our Cajun friends would be interested in these facts, but I am not going to post the info there. Since "geauxpnc" makes 25 or so posts here to my 1 there, I'll leave it alone as we don't need another visit. They also don't stick to the facts.
Somewhere between 3-5 wins are would be good anymore were the top G5. Need some upsets to get 6-8 wins.

I'm predicting 6 CUSA wins over P5's in 2015 from the list above. So there they are. (Of course, Army is NOT a P5)
Right, not truly. But for the purposes of $EC $cheduling, which is exactly how its determined.
