Oklahoma State opened at -7 @ West Virginia, line is down to -3.5. That seems pretty odd. Anyone in here have any clue why the line moved so much?

Probably because ISU beat OSU, and WVU just beat ISU, so people are expecting WVU to win, or at least make it a very close game.

Isn't this sort of thing fairly common? Like I remember hearing other teams doing stuff like this. I thought that there was something like this for Red River even.

edit: Yeah here's an article from a few years back talking about OU doing basically the same thing.

Well, poo poo. I picked WVU for my pick 'em group because that's a decently-sized line shift, but if this is true (I know you're just speculating) I'm switching to OSU. 'Cause yeah,

Doesn't make it any less awesome. CSU run 38 miles & up 2500'. WYO run 27 miles and down 200'. Either side fuckin' suuuuuucks to pull off

Not saying it's not cool. Just that it isn't unique to them. I may have misunderstood the original post, but that aspect is what I was reacting to.

Can I just say it's absolutely unfathomable to me how that monkey story seems to have disappeared overnight? Did I miss something where it got debunked?

While it's not the NCAA, the broader football world has had some wild stories pop up in the NFL since then that probably gabbed a lot of the sports media attention. Particularly an NFL player killing somebody in a ridiculous DUI crash, but also the Aaron Rodgers anti-vaxx drama and OBJ's push to get cut probably tied up a lot of gawking media attention with no new interesting developments with Pole Assassin and her biting moneky.

A UGA defensive starter was arrested on suspicion of rape. Immediatly suspended from the team pending result of the investigation, there was no wishy washy phrasing about boys will be boys or anything like that. The fans... They are a different story.

I mean any time the police get involved with literally anything that’s the first thing you should do, again not saying guilty or otherwise; just gives you the best shot at a good defense. I think this is the first big criminal thing to happen since Kirby took over. Not as fun as weed and guns with their numbers filed off #socrow

Based on the timing I'm thinking this may be the last we see of Jack Miller for the year at 3rd string QB. Dude got to watch one of his teammates get buried on the chart for this earlier this year, and we're quite literally days after the Ruggs case.


Pretty much guarantee he transfers/gets processed out now, so good luck with that Arizona.

UMass Georgia.

Jared Goff is awful but he was way better than both of Georgias QBs in college.

Yeah UMass/UGA would be closer. The Lions would hang 100 on UGA without breathing hard. And UGA would never score.

Also, gently caress Dan Mullen. If you're going to be an unlikeable shitbag, you'd better win.

Literally any NFL team would destroy the best college team every year.

At the same time UMass is really bad.

This is one of those things where the difference would come down to how committed the winner is to stomping the competition.

Georgia like most elite teams against putrid crap would hit 60 points in the early 3rd and pull all of their starters. If they actually tried to score every drive they could hang 100+ on UMass. So basically can Georgia keep it within 80 of the Lions because if so that’s more competitive by default.

I wonder how far back you'd have to go before you reach a point where the worst NFL teams of that time wouldn't completely obliterate the best college teams of today. 30 years maybe?

A long ways, but it also depends somewhat on the rules you play under

If you let 1990s NFL defenses hit college players under the rules that were around in the 90s, those games would generally end in a forfeit by the suddenly-very-undermanned college teams

The super bowl champion used to play a college all star team every year into the 70s and most of the games were competitive.
