But if the "experts" had known that Arkansas and Florida would be terrible and that Tennessee, Texas, Arizona State, and Missouri were all worse than expected, our projected win count would have been a good bit higher than 3.5.

Also, the oddsmakers take coaching into account for every team's total, not just players, and that probably didn't do us any favors.
