TCU vs. #8 BYU 7 P.M. central
TV Channel = Versus

BYU +2
TCU - 2

Over/Under = 43

So BYU is the number 8 team in the nation, and TCU is not ranked. .......... SO WHY THE **** IS TCU FAVORED TO WIN THIS GAME???? This is just 1 example on why college football is really messed up.

Take your picks

Enjoy the game.

Lol I agree with that yes. So does that mean that TCU should be ranked like 10 or 11th since there almost as good as BYU? Lol the college football system is so screwed up.

KaleoHolley

10/16/2008, 05:28 PM

LOL real vs fake, Im going for the Real, the reason why TCU is a favorite in vegas eyes is that home field is worth about a touchdown to 5 points, so what this is telling me that if this game was on a neutral site FAKE would be about a 3-5 point favorite.

BYU has some receivers open when Max Hall gets some time, but when a BYU receiver catches one, there's a TCU defender right on his azz. Who's the TCU DB's coach? If his defenders get beat it's not by much, at least so far.
I hope they repeat the first half. 47-0 sounds nice.A TCU skunk would look good against the number 8 team in the nation, but I just hope they win it big and the TCU D doesn't start taking 2nd half breathers like we do.

It's something NP and I tried on our honeymoon to Jamaica about a year ago. Basically, it's your standard awesome rum (cue "Why is the rum gone?" question from Jack Sparrow) with the added awesomeness of cream.

Yes, you can have your rum and cream it too :)

You likely won't find it in Oklahoma (stupid liquor laws) but you may be able to special order it and I know we've seen it in other areas. Try it out iced down and thank me afterward :)

Because the spread comes from Vegas, which is a free market and based upon rational principals that have economic effects...the polls? Eh, I'm Howard Schnellenberger and I hate OU - so I'll vote them low, low, low. I agree, this system is so broke, it's a travesty.

If TCU was playing at home against any of these teams listed they would be taking (unfavored) at least 10-14 points. Yet TCU was favored against the number 8 team in the nation?

Just like your nosebleed bench warming baseball player of the 40s, it's not how good, it's how much in demand. Thus, nosebleed bench warming baseball player's card is worth thousands because of it's rarity... and everyone picked (i.e. "placed a lot of betting money on") TCU to beat BYU, so that's how the line falls.

In the game of which we do not speak, the line was practically even for both teams, yet the margin of victory wasn't small. It was just because of how people were betting on it. That's it.
