well, i'm not arguing with you. no disrespect intended, obviously.
It just seems to me that when we make a statement like, "if Arkansas shows up then..."
...we should in this day and age (or in this season perhaps?) assume that teams will show up as coaches' jobs are on the line (an addition to all the points that Michfan15 brought up). perhaps this year is an anamoly. the matchups sucked across the board so the favorites covered at a very high rate. The only real play i talked about here was auburn which i considered a slam dunk. I also mentioned indiana as every single player in my pool was on duke which is historically a sign that we (as a group) have missed something. as that game turned it, it was as the line suggested basically a pick-em that came down to special teams play. i suppose one could argue motivation there, but i wouldn't. both teams were trying to win.
for the record, i don't listen to anything on espn. i read, i look at numbers. i make plays. and i steal from you and Mega.
happy new year, man.
