Atleast in fantasy playoff. These guys are a little scary.

Central Michigna and Troy? But no Boise St. or OhioU?
Is that from this year. WTF? I hope those guys aren't trying to be realistic, cause I'm less than impressed.

Oh OK. Sorry I missed that while I was getting ready for work.
Even so, Central Michigan? Troy? By Troy do they mean Troy Smith by himself like the legendary Ditka vs. The World days?
Cause in a match up of just Troy Smith vs. Troy Smith and OSU, I still thinK Troy with the rest of the players could beat Troy purely by himself. Well maybe.
For sure Troy Smith on his bad days would kick Chuck Norris' ass, and maybe even the entire 2005 USC football team that beat the Normans in the 11th round and the Third Reich in a 5th round knockout and beat the British by winning the Batlle of Trafalgar without a ship for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!1ONE!!!!!!
But perhaps that is just me

Too bad there's no breakdown - I'd like to see how they thought OK dealt with the never-before-seen speed of FL.

The original selection process does seem dubious. Offhand looks like they were using all the conference champs -- except for Middle Tenn State (Sun Belt) -- and then at-larges.
What I don't get, however, is how Auburn and ND get in over Arkansas and Wisconsin. I daresay WVU may even be a better selection than those 2. How can you honestly have a 16-team playoff that doesn't include Wisconsin? (and it's not a team-limit issue, because the SEC has 3 in there)
Some things from the breakdown that don't make much sense to me...
ttun beating UL only 60% of the time. (If this was a real game, I'd be betting all-in on a carr-less michigan)
LSU beating USC 75% of the time. This seems like it should be a lot closer to me.
UL beating ND 80% of the time... this seems like a mirror matchup to me. If this game was played 10 times, I think they'd split the series. 2 teams with strong passing attacks and only 1 good player in each secondary.

Actually if you click on "elite 8" you can see a breakdown of all the games in that bracket.
According to the game summary, FL was down 20-3 at the half and launched a comeback. But Tebow fumbled and the Sooners ran the clock out.
According to them, after simulating this game 1001 times Oklahoma won 57% of the time. |
