That's not playoff odds --- that's championship odds currently being bet. It's actual current book numbers past the hypothetical games. It doesn't mean that they don't think we're the best team or have anything to do with what they "think" -- it means that people are hedging their bets against us.

I hope this gets attention in the media. Vegas is only influenced by money. Committee has nothing at stake so politics could have a effect. We'll see.

I'll say this, if we get screwed I will be loading up on the Dawgs in our bowl game.. Talk about the ultimate chip.
