where do these things come from?

[RabidRabbit]

Looking this over, I couldn't make mathematical (statistical) sense of what was listed. Does this give us predictive analyses? I'm very surprised at how high EIU (10th?) is in this model. That seems "off".

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

So if I'm reading this right, if Villanova played Fordham they'd win by four points. Or, if UNI played NDSU they'd lose by 1....correct?

[Gangtackle11]

It is a point spread predictor, but his claim to being correct (80%) is based on picking the winner not the score.

I used it for our local HS teams for the past few weeks (site has nj/pa HS rankings) and it was 35-5 picking the winner.

Not saying it is worth a hill of beans, but thought it was interesting enough to throw out there.

80% is respectable.

The top 25 game I run on AGS averages 70-74% correct in any given week. Only once this season has the average been 80 or higher

Or 44...same thing...

Their worse loss is EKU and playing very well right now

[cpalum]

"Cal-Poly San Loius Obispo".....is it that tough? We have to have the most frequently misspelled, screwed up name in FCS

Cal Poly....see how easy that was

#2 Seed UNI! xlolx

[RabidRabbit]

In OVC play. Their games vs the MVFC weren't close. IL St (34-15) and SIU 38-21, both L's. The EIU Panthers are already at 5 losses, and now play Jax St. This bubble team fan is praying that the 'Cocks pound the Panthers, and eliminate ANY EIU consideration for play-offs.

It's THE Citadel

[underdawg]

Any points given or home team? Other wise with a -6.8 for the Panthers, I and my fellow Saluki fans might as well not go to the game

SIU game was close till the end of 3. The ISUr was close into the 3rd plus EIU had 5 TOs in the game. EIU had more offensive yards than both ISUr and SIU.

I was meaning EKU is the worse team they have loss to. But it is close between them and SIU.

EIU and UNI have several similarities.

[chattownmocs]

What the hell is chattanooga-tennessee? Is that like the university of chattanooga at tennessee or something? I'd prefer chatty to that garbage. Jason bourne is a dilweed and needs to stick to being the ultimate BA and leave this stuff to others.

Cal Poly is easy. UC Davis is easy. Cal Davis is wrong. Not in the rankings by any means but still wrong.

[Houndawg]

SIU game was close till the end of 3. The ISUr was close into the 3rd plus EIU had 5 TOs in the game. EIU had more offensive yards than both ISUr and SIU.

If they played, EIU would need to call Child Protective Services to stop the abuse.xcoffeex

[Panther-State]

I didn't realize that the OVC only played 3 quarter games. Can't believe ISU and SIU would pull the wool over their eyes like that.

And how dirty of the RedBirds to take the ball away from the Panthers 5 times. Those dirty cheaters...

[Loyl2u]

That is the scheduling dilemma. Some teams don't want to be penalized for not playing ranked opponent. In reverse, I'm sure EIU(Massey #148) would like to not be penalized for playing FBS P5 7-2 Minnesota(Massey # 41), FBS 5-5 Ohio(Massey# 129), FCS gpi #3 8-1 ISUr(Massey#59) and FCS gpi #18 5-4 SIU(Massey # 129). EIU's worst loss is to Massey # 159 EKU at EKU in OT.

Not really sure watching a couple of EIU games that they are playing better now, just not playing the level of competition in conference that they faced in OOC this season. My guess is that JSU wins without much problem, but if EIU pulls upset in JSU, not sure OVC should be sending at-larges ahead of any 7 win MVC team. Good luck to the Panthers!

[Cocky]

Guess you are right looking at the schedules. UNI played some really bad teams during their OOC part of the schedule while EIU played a tough OOC schedule.
After the way UNI abuse the national power Hawaii and SDSU child services should already be aware of their actions.

SDSU would win the OVC.

UNI did abuse the ever loving **** out of ISUr and NDSU....

the bad thing about this is I really believe you believe this.

You can't even give a MVC team a compliment without you guys getting upset.

The OVC is dog **** and will be exposed in the playoffs, yet again.

I mean EIU is in line to win the damn conference. EIU.......the same SIU that lost to the 2 MVFC teams on their schedule by an average of 36-18

I did post that EIUs worse loss was to EKU, which mean I think SIU and ISUr are better than EKU. Hard to understand how that isnt a compliment. Avg loss by EIU to MVC teams 18 while the number 2 team in the nation just loss by 20 to a MVC team. So I guess your saying NDSU is dog**** too?
