    Tech favored by Sagarin predictor 3 of 4 remaining games

    Current Sagarin Predictor Rating for the Dawgs: 65

    Fresno State: 84
    Ole Miss: 95 (LOL!)
    Nevada: 50
    New Mexico State: 116

    If this were the end-all-be-all of predicting, then we'd end up 7-5. I still hope we whip Nevada and go 8-4 as WAC champs! We still need a little help though so that we don't share the title. Nevada would have to lose another game.

    Luckily for us, Nevada still has to play Hawaii.

    I'd rather Nevada beat Hawaii and be in a tie with Nevada for first.

    Unluckily for us, that game is in Reno.

    Your conclusion is correct, but your methodology appears flawed. You are using the ranking instead of the rating and not accounting for home field advantage.

    Sagarin predictions are calculated by adding the home field advantage to the home team's Predictor rating and then subtracting the road team's Predictor rating from that sum.

    After we defeated Utah State, the Sagarin Predictor projected LA Tech to win 4 of our last 5 games. See this thread: http://www.latechbbb.com/forum/showt...-7-5!-Let-s-go!

    From what I saw last year...it was Kaepernick's running and passing ability that gave Nevada the win over TECH. I think this is the year we beat Nevada. I'm so tired of losing to those assholes!!

    How would we share the title if we beat them head to head. Seems like that would give us the outright win if all other teams had at least 2 conference losses.
