No, you're right.

That's what I like about you, you don't take yourself to seriously, and your dang good with the stats. Good qualities.

He tweets them out on Sunday afternoon. There might be a rankings page on ESPN but I don't have that link. Unfortunately he isn't doing the full stat profiles this year bc he switched from SB Nation to ESPN so late in the summer. Those stat profiles were awesome. Also, his system is killing it ATS this year. I think he's like 66% on the year. Really impressive. OT, but I know a lot of people talk about how "Vegas isn't in business to pick winners" and there is some truth to that, but their "updated line" aka closing line for every game picks the winning team 80% of the time so far this year. It's really accurate-3rd most accurate prediction data available per prediction tracker.

How do you calculate Connelly's picks ATS? Does he tweet/post score predictions somewhere or do you just use the difference in the 2 teams S&P ratings as the predicted score differential?

I would say Vegas definitely isn't in the business of picking winners, because they don't actually know what's going to happen in a game anymore than anyone else. But if they get equal money on both sides (their goal), they get the 10% juice no matter what. That should be anyone's goal in their position

The closing line is Vegas' reaction to the public's bets. But is picking the team that wins games (not ATS) in college football 80% of the time supposed to be some unreal predictive number? Over half of the games are complete mismatches, so I would say picking the winner 80% of the time isn't that great

They aren't in the "business" of doing it, but they're really good at it. Yeah. 80% is a pretty sick number. Go pick every game for a year and see what your numbers look like. I'm not meaning that condescending, but you'd be amazed at how hard that is to do. The opening line is 77.6% right. Vegas picks the straight up winner 8 times out of 10. That's why it's important to use the spread as a tool to measure how your coach is performing. They're right an incredible amount.

You sparked my curiosity, so I hopped on Vegas Insider and started scrolling down - I wasn't going to count but it looked like nearly half the spreads were single digit.

The you have Arky and UT ha.

I thought I read sometime where 83% or 84% was some kind of record. Not sure if that was about a year or a longer stretch.

I think we actually slipped 1 spot. I think Auburn slipped 1 spot also with a win.

If we lose to all of the S&P teams ahead of us and win the ones we're ahead of- that's 8-4 and I would take that.

Auburn at 10 is only a few spots ahead of us. As I've said before- it's our biggest game of the season. Pull off the upset there and it could springboard us to a great season.
