Whoever wins the border war will prob be #1 imo

I agree, as they should be. The craziest part of LSU losing is that both OSU and WVU have a great shot at getting to the title game now.

WVU is a lock; OSU has roughly a 25% shot

I'd just like to brag that I have a bet of 100 dollars at 100 to 1 that I win if a 2 loss team plays in the National Championship.

The last 30 yrs Nebraska fans outnumbered KU fans in Lawrence though.

thats just not true. Nebraska travels well, but i doubt they have ever had more than 26,000 fans in Memorial Stadium.

Why would you brag that you lost $100? I guess its barely +EV right now.

Kentucky losing definitely hurts but if you think it's "barely +EV" then you are dumb.

If you look at the attendence records for the last 30 yrs you know that the thing was far from full.

All I know is that Jayhawks fan told me when I went to the 2005 game. Actually I think the quote was, "I think that this might be the first time there are more KU fans here than Nebraska fans"

Here is a shot at the "home side". We were over on the "visitor" side which was a predominant red.


Let's compare it to most home stadium views.

Barely +EV? So you'd give me 70-1 right now?

There's a 99% chance that West Virginia beats Pittsburgh?

So they are going to lose. It's going to happen. It's happened every time this year.

Of course it happened. God damn college football.

Probably about 95% that WVU beats Pitt and 40% that Mizzou beats Oklahoma. So 3% that a two-loss team makes the championship. It may be +++EV percentage wise, but you're only looking at $2 of EV. Not much of a brag IMO.
