Here is the sheet. It is setup just like years past. There are two total systems, the off o/u and def o/u. The systems project what the total should be based on the offenses and defenses. The average is, of course, the average of the two which is generally near the total for the game. When all three total columns have a total above or below the posted game total, I've bolded and underlined the row for that bowl to indicate the agreement. There are two side systems and two other systems pulled from FoxSheets. My systems are the system A and B columns. The main difference between the two is that System B factors in strength of schedule. The values in the columns represent what each system thinks the spread should be. When all four systems have a line that is above or below the posted side for the bowl, the row for the bowl is bolded and underlined to indicate the agreement. If anyone has any more questions, let me know and I'll be happy to help.
it's weird, I've bet less this year than others, but I've watched more college football this year than ever. looking forward to another bowl season.
I have a feeling, knowing what goes into my system, that it will pick Alabama. I should have something up in about a week. Takes a while to input all the data.
No way LSU looses imo. Not after the season they just had, their depth, and being in NOLA. Although it is easier to motivate for alabama since they lost last time. So if Alabama wins, does that mean a split of the title since they both won one
Can't, winner of it has to be BCS champion. One of the rules to it requires AP & Coaches polls to vote BCS champion the winner. Also means SEC will finally have a BCS title game loss.
Yeah I forgot about that, weird considering how much they try to talk up the BCS. Anyway, I get what you're saying, but even then the winner of the game is still BCS Champion. Doesn't mean the AP could not vote for a different national champion. It just wouldn't get to be called BCS Champion.
IIRC AP has already stated before the final standings came out that they will vote LSU the AP NC regardless of the outcome
That game is already done for me... Got Alabama +110 at the open, now just waiting for LSU to get as high as possible ... unless somehow LSU becomes the favorite again, it will be guaranteed winner ... Which I'll take because I don't have much interest in the game anyway.
As anticipated, raw system likes Alabama. Marshall comes in dead last with Auburn a close second to last.
I can't wait!!! Saturday is going to hopefully be the beginning of recovering all the money I lost on CBB and NHL!
The Def O/U is always pretty reliable, going 26-9 last year. System A and B disagreed 7 times last year. System A was correct in 6 of those 7 disagreements. This year the systems disagree 14 times. Last year there were 14 times where all four systems agreed on a side. This year there are only 4.

So if I'm reading this correctly, it looks to me that A&M and Wisconsin are going to be the biggest plays? Maybe UVA and Illinois as well?
This is my first time reading this. It's kind of difficult but I think I might understand. So just as an example lets take temple and Wyoming with temple - 6 1/2. It seems like system A and B both agree that Temple should cover. While power and outplay (not sure what that is) say Temple should win by more than 7. It seems like that would be a strong play as well. I'm sorry for being naive and not understanding. Just mildly confused.
Yes, temple should be bolded. And you're also right that if it's a push it's not a full agreement so no bold.
