The Resident College Football Expert Week 4: Fuzzy Math?
The Resident College Football Expert’s weekly write-up is all about learning and friendship and love and wisdom and winning…mainly winning. This week, let’s focus on learning…which will lead to more winning. The Expert may have missed on all three of last week’s upset specials, but take note that he was an amazing 2-1 against the spread. So let’s do a little learning with math. This means that if you had bet $2000 on Mississippi State, $5000 on Tulane, and $20 on UCLA, that means you would have won $6980! That is some sweet profit.
The Expert also learned last week that the 2008 Tennessee Volunteers may be the worst college football team of all time. Follow this, if Tennessee loses to UCLA who loses to BYU 59-0 who almost lost to Washington who lost to Oklahoma 55-14, that all means that Oklahoma would beat Tennessee 947-0. That puts Tennessee further away from top 5 than any team has ever been in the history of college football.
The Expert also learned that it is very easy to become confused while watching college football. How does Maryland lose to Middle Tennessee then beat the heck out of California? California after all is from that “power” conference, the Pac 10! Remember how before the first week of the season, ABC was telling folks in the Mid-West and on the West Coast they weren’t being cheated by missing Bama-Clemson, because they got to see two “top notch” programs like Michigan State and California square off? Now California is dominated by Maryland, the embarrassment of the ACC. How could that happen to a team from the conference that might be “just as good as the SEC”?
The Expert learned plenty more last week, but we have to get to the picks. The season is really heating up and there is a slew of first class games of tap for this week, including five great games featuring teams from the SEC. So here we go!
