That’s just great though. A perfect rope-a-dope set-up. If I can get all cart-y before the horse-y, assuming ND marches through this coming season to and winning the BCS, people next year will still be thinking “naaah, it’s like Chaz’s first season a few years ago” and then blam, hitting them again in 2012 with the Hendrix Experience.

If the team makes the BCS, wins, and people still doubt them, I demand that Kelly have the team rapell from modified Blackhawk helicopters for the opener in 2012. Maybe then people will get the point. We’re sneaky dangerous.

A little punchy for a Friday…

I don’ think that there is any correlation to a Vegas-like odds and spreads. Also, I’d say the actual FEI is a better for comparisons than the ranking. The gap between BC @ 28 (.118) & USF at 29 (.106) is much greater than the gap between USF at 29 (.106) & ND @ 30 (.105)

Since I am new to it, does this mean that, the last 5 years being equal, we are more likely to lose to teams ranked ahead and more likely to beat those ranked behind?

Is there any correlation to a Vegas-like odds and the positional spread between teams in this ranking? For instance, does a 10-team ranking spread equate to a 60-40 likelihood that the higher ranked team will win?
