navy over ND... too much tradition into what was the world's largest cocktail party and spurrier against UT is nothing compared to a ND meltdown against Navy but I'D LOVE IT! that'd give 'em something to make charlie shutup

Well since Navy has lost like 42 straight, I would say Navy. Plus their starting QB is injured so I would be more shocked if Navy pulls it together.

Navy winning would be outrageous.

But you need to take down even the hint of a possibility of Florida not winning from this thread. Florida will win. Period.

Florida losing to Georgia would be a bigger upset. Florida is 5th in Sagarin's Rating and Georgia is 46th. Notre Dame is 19th and Navy is 39th. The injury to Hampton makes it closer, but it's still UGA over UF.

The Sagarin ratings-Worth exactly as much as the paper they're printed on.

UGA could be the worst opponent for UF to face this week. back to backers, plus a meager 3 pointer over Miss. State. If they got their butts chewed out properly, they will not be looking to be a patsy for 4 consecutive weeks.

I think Navy would be the bigger upset but UGA over UF considering comments and attitudes like this would definitely be the most fun.

I like it as a reference resource. You know my obsession with college football and that I put a lot of time into analysis. I don't take the Sagarin ratings, Dunkel Index, etc as any kind of prophecy, but I do like it as a small % of evidence for an outcome.

It's more useful than Team X is 0-42 SU in the last 42 vs. Team Y

Or Team X is 6-12 ATS v. Team Y in the last 18.

I'm not sure I agree with that. Unless there's been a major, recent change at one or both of the programs, 6-12 ATS tells me Program A is more often than not going to be a bad play against Program B.

because it's one sixth of the formula that goes into determining one third of the final BCS ranking.

in other words, using the ranking in an arguement is reaching.

I have a hard time discussing this with someone who can't spell. Sorry.

It may be a good historical reference tool but I find alot of times historical trends really have nothing to do with the current teams playing.

It works only with a number that big when the two programs have had the same coaches (or direct spinoffs). An outcome in 1988 has 0% weight on a game in 2006, unless the 2 coaches are the same, then I'd give it a little weight.

Now, if you have something like Coach X is 3-8 SU v. Coach Y, then that obviously has far better indications.

is it because i'm right or because i accidentally put ONE extra letter where it didn't go?

i don't think i need to repeat the 'when they attack your spelling...' comment here.

sorry.
