I didn't make a resolution to not get mad anymore, but something happened that night that has allowed me to just be chill about sports. OU loses, or has a crummy season, or whatever, who cares. I get more fun being social with my friends during the game and just talking sports than living vicariously through teenagers in tights giving each other concussions.

I. M. Gei posted:I didn't know Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was even involved in coaching. Don’t have a specific answer to your question but you have to remember that part of setting odds and lines is the book’s anticipation of bettor behavior. It’s why Prime is at 6/1; Deion is not going to be the next coach at ‘Bama but Vegas knows morons will want to bet on him so they’re happy to make the odds look favorable to fleece people of their money. BOB at 80/1 is the tastiest of those odds.

Feeling pretty excited for next year. Even though I'd rather not have gone to the SEC (RIP OG Big 12), we are, and not gonna stop following CFB over it. Excited to start playing some new teams, and with the old bowl system already dead and in the ground the 12-team playoff is going to be really cool. Also really happy to see a lot more traffic in the CFB threads this year, reversing the same trend of SA as a whole over the last decade of a slow trickle of folks leaving. Hope we can keep the traffic up next season, too, the volume of petty sports sniping has gone way up, takes me back to the TFF of the late aughts.

Thermos H Christ posted:That’s what I’m saying, a Bama that has lost like 2/3 of their starters will likely be a very winnable game which we could use. What a weird thing to think, it would have been insane a couple weeks ago. Obviously both OU's and Texas' conference schedules get significantly more difficult next season, but with the whole of 2023 wrapped up I think Texas gets the easier of the two: Oklahoma Temple Houston Tulane Tennessee @Auburn -bye- RRS South Carolina @Ole Miss Maine @Mizzou -bye- Alabama @LSU Texas Colorado State @Michigan UTSA ULM Mississippi State -bye- RRS Georgia @Vanderbilt -bye- Florida @Arkansas Kentucky @Texas A&M OU again doesn't have a big non-con game but @Ole Miss, @Mizzou, Alabama, and @LSU all in the last six weeks vs. @Michigan and Georgia for Texas. Think y'all already have enough winnable games  General Dog posted:Bama is going to be a 10 win team next year, take it to the bank. Sitting here in January thinking “well I guess they just won’t have good players 8 months from now” is pretty silly. Definitely not taking that to the bank but it also wouldn't be surprising at all.

Updated my Big 12 prestige rankings following this past season. Each season each team gets their conference record ratio (eg, going 5-4 gets you .556 points), runner-up in conference championship game OR being the head-to-head loser in a co-champion season is .5 bonus points, winning the B12CCG or being the head-to-head winner co-champion gets you 1 bonus point.  Kansas State now the Big 12 program with the most cred. Not usually gonna be a lot of movement from season to season, though Iowa State leapt past Texas A&M and Colorado this year. Poor Kansas still behind a program that's been in the conference less than half as long as they have  Also, Tech really suffered from being in the South those first 15 years or whatever. Won a lot of conference games, but no bonus points.

Yeah, there's more than enough things to wager on to make that number make sense in that regard.

I think advertising for gambling should be banned, yes. There's a tribal casino near me that's been running a radio ad recently along the lines of "Inflation got you down? Solve your financial woes by winning BIG!" and it's probably the single worst thing I've ever heard on any kind of advertisement in any medium. Just really gross, sick poo poo.

Oklahoma City has 2/3 of a loop, but part of it is a toll road and another part is notorious as the most dangerous stretch of highway in the city, people drive wild on it for whatever reason. They're trying to close the loop but it's drawing a lot of controversy over imminent domain despite it running through a mostly rural area, also that it too would be a permanent toll road. Everyone also says "I-35/40/44/240," but no one calls I-235 by that designation, it's the "Broadway Extension"

I haven't verified this other than found out when Western Michigan would've qualified under a 6+6, 2016; It would make sense to judge the past 10 years with a 6+6. Temple with two looks suspect but I'm gonna assume it's right. 51 different programs would have made the playoff at least once, which is a good bit higher than I'd imagined. 14 different mid-majors would have made a playoff, 19 total appearances in 10 years. I do imagine the selection committee will rank things a bit differently now that they're actually seeding a 12-team playoff, and more than one a year will be pretty rare, if ever, which is a shame.

Rather than decide on a "permanent" conference schedule as had been planned for after this coming season, the SEC is making 2025 another ad hoc schedule without a set plan in place. tl;dr: 8 games, same schedule as 2024 but opposite venues. Gonna do whatever I can to go to Knoxville in '25. Dunno if one should read too much into this: quote:“We continue to monitor changes across college sports as they relate to future scheduling,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. “Continuing with our current format for the 2025 season provides additional time to understand the impact of the changes happening around us as we determine the appropriate long-term plan for SEC football scheduling.”
