Forecasting the Big 12 South - Sept. 20, 2010
The Sagarins are starting to make a little more sense, and some of the key games have been played. I have made a key change to the spreadsheet. I have used actual W/L data from all prior Big 12 South games from the last few years to generate odds of straight up wins for different point spreads...
Forecasting The Big 12 South - Sep. 13, 2010
I posted this a few times last year. Here's how it works. I use Sagarin's "Predictor" rating for the different teams on Big 12 South schedules, to estimate point spreads (I'm giving 3 points for home field). Using his ratings also removes my personal bias (Note- in week 2, his relative ratings...

Forecasting The Big 12 South- Nov. 2
Texas and TAMU had the big jumps in the Sagarin Predictor model that drives this analysis. Texas is now listed as one of the nation's top 3 teams, and would be a .5 point dog to Florida and a .5 point favorite over Bama. TAMU is a solid, middle of the road Big 12 squad, which is much better than...

My wife and I, who celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary last week, went out to Sin City for...

Together, we have gone around the SEC, and now it is time to turn our attention to the national games of interest. As previously reported, my national record for prognostications now stands at 29-18, so, uh, yeah; Don’t Bet On It! Here are this week’s noteworthy non-SEC outings, which are slated to...
Don't Bet On It!: Week Five College Football Forecasts for the National Games of Interest
Once I’ve gone around the SEC and predicted incorrectly the outcomes of the various games taking place in the Southeastern Conference, I next turn my attention to the outings of significance occurring in the rest of the country, with respect to which my prognosticating skills are even worse. Please...
What Sort of Tradition Would Texas A&M Bring to the SEC?
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Matthew 24:6 Between reports that Texas A&M turned down the Pac-10 and that Texas A&M didn’t turn down the Pac-10 and that Texas A&M may or may not have...
Independence Bowl Preview: Conclusions About the Georgia Bulldogs' and the Texas A&M Aggies' Common Opponents
Just as Team Speed Kills compared the common opponents of the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida Gators prior to the SEC championship game, so too have I looked at the common opponents of the Georgia Bulldogs and the Texas A&M Aggies, which led to these conclusions about the two teams appearing...
