Troy Smith for player of the game. He's got to be it, who else has single handedly won a game for the other team.

You quoted one good data point out of 3.
There's the pure predictor, the ELO, and the Conf rating.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which one do you like?

The fact that a rating system is imperfect doesn't make it worthless. My point is basically that the objective rating systems I've seen evaluate OSU as clearly superior to Florida. I'm anticipating hearing people talk about how it "wasn't really an upset" if Florida wins, and I'm going to disagree with anyone who claims that.

If you think the line should be 3.5, that's fine, but a 3.5-point favorite is still going to win a substantial majority of the time.

EDIT: AAAARGH
