This bowl system went 11-1 last season ...

[jbragg10]

How did they backtrack it if all the numbers had changed?

the original person who I saw this system from realized he missed a game.
I shouldn't have said the word backtrack.

 

[jbragg10]

if ND was a play why was it not on the original list? just asking:think2:

The person who originally started this system only made the ones I posted first plays.

We (as a forum here) ... went back and looked and found a few more games. Notre Dame was on here and posted.

Here are the official plays:
1. Wake Forest = win
2. South Florida = win
3. Arizona = win
4. TCU = loss
5. Notre Dame = win
6. NC State
7. Missouri
8. Maryland
9. Rice
10. Air Force
11. Kansas
12. USC
13. Kentucky
14. Alabama
15. Connecticut
16. Ball State

Notre Dame is a play

Miami, FL?

I see Miami, FL (31, 9 SOS) v Calif. (27, 44 SOS)

I would think Miami, FL should be a play, right?

No, Calif. SOS needs to be above 60

TCU won.

TCU won.

Didnt cover bro?? how could you not know that?

tater

 

[8ate]

Money Line TCU win

Ats TCU loser

 

[mws]

Of the top 60 Sagarin-rated teams, FADE EVERY team ATS whose strength of schedule rating is 60 or worse unless they are facing a team whose SOS rating is even lower than theirs

The confusion is that you've stated one system (described above), but it's not the system you're playing. For example, USF was not a play according to the system, becuase Memphis was not a top-60 team. You just need to restate your parameters so they're clear to everyone.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

TCU won.

Not if your a gambler

 

[mws]

If you are looking at the top 60 right now ... it will be skewed because games have already been played making all the numbers change.

You would think so, but the ratings page says that it is updated "through results of 2008 DECEMBER 13 SATURDAY". So this year's bowl's have not been factored in yet. It could change at any time, though.

Not if your a gambler

I am a newbie. However, I kept track with this system since 2004, I may understand the logic differently as follows:
1. First step: Get Sagarin ranking and SOS of all bowl games from http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt08.htm
2. Second step: Eliminate all bowl games with the ranking of both teams are not in top 60 (as Notes 1, 2 & 3 below).
3. Third step: Eliminate all bowl games with both teams whose SOS are better than 60 (i.e. at least one of them > 60).
4. Final step: Play a team whose Ranking and SOS are better.

Depending on the logic above, the teams to be played for this year are:
1. Wake Forest (31, 4) vs Navy (39,74) Winner
2. South Florida(45, 59) vs Memphis (97,117) Winner
3. Arizona (19, 78) vs BYU (30, 83) Winner
4. TCU (8, 76) vs Boise State (12, 113) Looser
5. NC State (24, 11) vs Rutgers (36, 67)
6. Missouri (11, 30) vs Northwestern (40, 64)
7. Air Force (51, 77) vs Houston (57, 102)
8. Kansas (33, 23) vs Minnissota (68, 69)
9. USC (2, 38) vs Penn State (5, 61)
10. Virginia Tech (23, 13) vs Cincinnati (38, 62)
11. Alabama (6, 58) vs Utah (13, 70)
12. Connecticut (43, 40) vs Buffalo (60, 82)
13. Ball State (35, 116) vs Tulsa (47, 122)

Notes: 4 bowl games below are not qualified
1. Note Dame (62, 36) vs Hawaii (95, 72): ND Ranking 62 is very close to 60, therefore, someone can consider it.
2. Maryland (65, 21) vs Nevada (69, 88)
3. Rice (75, 101) vs (72, 109)
Ranking of all teams for each bowl games above are NOT in top 60.
4. Kentucky (67, 73) vs East Carolina (52, 75)
Ranking of E Carolina is better than Kentucky but its SOS is lower.

I just try to post what I knew. Please let me know if I am wrong. Thx
