jjbrr Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Those spreads seem generous for all of the SECe teams lol. I think I'd take Louisville, Iowa, and ECU in those. The Auburn/Wisky game seems like a great matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm a little puzzled as to why the point spreads are so high. I'd think that if the committee is making all the pairings, they ought to be able to make pairings such that the point spreads are all 3 or less.

GreenMan Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm a little puzzled as to why the point spreads are so high. I'd think that if the committee is making all the pairings, they ought to be able to make pairings such that the point spreads are all 3 or less. The committee's goal is "compelling" matchups, whatever that means; the committee has said it also considers geography and not repeating matchups from this season or recent bowls. Also, some bowls have conference contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Also, the point spreads are based on behavior of bettors, not on objective evaluation of the matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billw55 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I see that the almighty SEC west is now 2-5 in bowls. Interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah, but the supposedly weaker SEC East went 5-0 to hold up the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Also, the point spreads are based on behavior of bettors, not on objective evaluation of the matchup. Not entirely true. Depends a bit on the bookmaking operation how much shading in the line towards larger expected profits and how much risk they are comfortable with.

Flem72 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I see that the almighty SEC west is now 2-5 in bowls. Interesting. As I have it: A&M (6th, SEC West) +8 West Virginia (6th, B12)Arkansas (7th, SEC West) +24 Texas (5th, B12) LSU (5th, SEC West) -3 Notre Dame (Indep, unranked)Ga (2nd, SEC East) +23 Louisville (3rd, ACC Atlantic) Alabama (1st, SEC West) -7 Ohio State (1st, B10 East) HELLUVA GAME -- OS ended up making the big plays (THAT OSU CATCH! THAT ALA MISSED TACKLE!) and showed an amazing O-line Miss (3rd, SEC West) -39 TCU (2nd? 1st? B12) Turned this one off after M's first two possessions: Very clear that without their starting wideouts they had no chance to move the ball against TCU run protect Miss St (2nd, SEC West) -15 Ga Tech (1st, ACC Coastal) Auburn (4th, SEC West) -3 Wisconsin (1st, B10 West) My conclusion is that a high-ranking team from another conference is as good as a high-ranking SEC team, but SEC low-ranking (even low in one division vs relatively high in another conference) are better than some highj-rankers from other conferences ==> SEC is strongest top to bottom. For the reasons stated above, I don't evaluate the TCU win as enthusiastically as most others. In context, I was surprised by LSU's flat performance and Ga Tech's win, but not by the rest. And I note that the teams that tried the Trickeration Plays mostly won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
