Well times they are a changing.... and it's time they started respecting the big orange nation!Statistical models don’t make the brackets…people do. Basketball people are preconditioned to favor Kentucky/Duke/etc over teams like us. And they’ll use what they need to post-hoc rationalize what they already believed.
I know you’re right about how they’re going to justify Kentucky and Duke being ahead of us. But I don’t think it’s equitable or maps to reality.
I've always wondered how they make money if that's their goal. If it's exactly 50/50, Vegas makes $0. I thought their goal was to get people to put more on the wrong side, but that idea has flaws too.Vegas odds are just oddsmakers trying to get people to put equal amount of money on both sides of a wager.
I despise the "they started ranked ahead" reasoning. Look at the results of the whole season, nothing else. Preseason rankings and even early season rankings shouldn't be allowed if they're going to be used like that.Lol his reasoning is because Auburn and KY were rated higher than us all year. That's a BS statement. Plus we beat Arizona.
