Title: FPI says 84% to beat UK as of today
Post by: BanditVol on October 16, 2022, 06:52:23 EDT
It will update sometime tomorrow....looking forward to seeing how it changes

But oh yeah, we better not overlook UT Martin (tries to keep straight face, fails.)  :naughty:

Need to play a lot of folks early next week....Give starters some rest and avoid injuries against nobodies...Tillman was injured and has been out since Akron.

Yep!  Hooker should sit at halftime at the latest.  Good chance to get Milton some reps as well as other QB.  Shuler likely gets some time again.  :cool:

We’re gonna be hung over big time this week.  This UTM game is a godsend.  Better than a bye because it gives us a chance to shake off this big victory buzz.  UK scares me a little.  I think it’s more like 75% win chance.

after the tweet by the IDIOT coach of Kentucky named Marrow I would not bet against Hendo and the Vols in the Kensucky Roundup

Well, grammar is not his strong suit.  Let go of what, I wonder?   :dielaughing:

FTR, FPI now says 83%.  I guess the 'puters were slightly more impressed with UK win over MSU than our win over bammer.  That a puzzler to me, but simulations often do not follow human intuition.

IIRC the FPI had LSU beating us....by a pretty good percentage.

Nah. It was 57%. A bit better than a coin flip.

It's wrong frequently  but (per ESPN) tracks the percentages.  There is a table I'll see if I can find it.
