I think Bear is just terrible on camera, but his picks aren't that terrible. He is about 10% less than betting experts success rates though so I do think Gameday could get someone better up there, but they probably also won’t be great on camera. I’d just take whoever the “betting guy” is for gameday off camera.

For reference, Bear is just under 54% success on his career picks. Expert bettors are closer to 60-65%.
Dude just stuttered his way through saying what it took Bama to lose “17 penalties, muffed punt, ridiculous pass interference call, mismanaged clock”

So many excuses
 
Big Noon Kickoff is way better.
Thanks for the reminder.

Urban should not be on it, IMO


I think Fox Sports is way better than ESPN. I wish they had the SEC games and SEC Network. After ESPN's build up to the SEC Network, I've been really disappointed in their programming. A 4 hour block of the same show is lazy.

He hand picks three. 54% of your best 3 is awful.
 
Bunch of “Little Man Syndrome” in this thread today…looking for reasons to feel offended or slighted.

Game Day is simply stating facts. A 1-loss TN is down the pecking order from some of these other schools. But there is still definitely a path should we stumble.

Instead of looking for reasons to be ticked, I’m just enjoying the fact that we are all over College Game Day. What a year we are having!

Oh I don’t like the guy. I think he’s a terrible person to put on TV and I don’t give two ***** on listening to his opinions… I was just pointing out his betting pick success isn’t as terrible as people think.

Definitely didn’t mean to seem like I was arguing your point or disagree… more so just venting lol
 
Think it depends on how we lose the UGA game and how we look winning the other games. Lose close game to UGA on the road and win decisively vs UK, USCe, Vandy and it will be hard to keep us out. Especially considering the peripherals (i.e. exciting brand of football, best offense, crazy fan support).

I agree on the peeps looking for a reason to feel offended.

I do not agree that a 1-loss UT is very far down a list at all tho (not watching Gameday so missed the convo). Obv all that depends on how things shake out. Best resumé in the country and it’s not close.
 
That’s kind of the point of betting though. “Expert betters” aren’t dropping 10+ single bets on a CFB Saturday in my opinion, or using parlays.. they are handpicking a few of their favorites each weekend too.
They pick them to make money though. Bear doesn't. So upsets are amongst the picks to makxomize money.

I’m not so sure we lose the UGA game

Some of us remember that Tennessee would never have gotten to play in the national championship game in 1998 if we had one loss. We had to be undefeated. They all thought several 1 loss teams were better than us, and we would be embarrassed by FL ST. They don’t want us in the conversation now either. They didn’t want Peyton in the Heisman conversation. They don’t want HH in it either. So there is definitely a reason to be looking for the bias.
