Title: FPI says 97% chance against Chattown

It does predict a loss to UK, but a win vs. Vandy also.  However it's early in the season when it's least reliable.  After the gators administer a beat down on Kentucky and we beat Chatt, the odds will go way up, probably at least to 40%.   How it goes from there depends on how well we play. 


Notice that USC, MSU, even Missouri are also not unreasonable odds.  Again, depends on where this team goes from here.

Don’t accept less than $20 apiece to take those tickets off their hands. :laugh:

Sort of off topic but I saw one of those tracker % things in the UT-BYU game.....With 6:20 left in the 4th quarter the tracker had UT at 96.5% chance of winning the  game. :banghead:

I'd bought 4 Tix for the USC game just before the GA State game, and my wife and I are bringing two of our close USC fans with us. Fantastic.

At least I'll get to the farm in Philadelphia and can bush hog the fields

That's what I'm thinking, too. Lower level tickets for $10/ea.

It's worse than that.  On Talking Out Loud a few minutes ago, McIllroy said it peaked at 99.6%.   :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I wonder what the odds were before kickoff for our first two games???

Don't no about Georgia State, but likely was in the high 90s.

BYU was 73%.  I think I posted it somewhere below.
