You do know the difference between Boolean and Probability, right? The distribution is between 3.6 and 8.4 wins. They don't give us a curve so show probable distribution of points in between. Given the probability of winning each games, there is roughly a 17% chance of running the table.

This sight losses all credibility by predicting better odds of beating Rice at home than UTSA at home.

LOL!!!

you need to wake up already. There is very little difference between Rice and UTSA...you can pretend like there is...but there isn't

I guess I should remember this since I took my statistics course twice because I loved it so much. Yeah, that's it, that is why I took it a second time. :)

Boolean?

is that codeine-laced cough syrup mixed with Boone's Farm?

I don't think they're saying that the distribution is between 3.6 and 8.4 wins, but rather that the mean prediction is 8.4 (wins) and 3.6 (losses).

Ah. OK. I see that. I was gonna try and set this up on excel, but it's been a while where n trials all have different probabilities. If anyone wants to take a crack, here ya go.

Agree and................

..............that's it! We shut'er down for a year or 2 and then have our own start-up program with an NCAA FBS

National Championship as our start-up goal! Funny part of that is how we'd be too naive to know better than to shoot for less; instead of our (sometimes) jaded'ness of past not so successful seasons which has created a few attitudes from us all at one time or another.

GMG!

PS:

I'm beginning to (almost) see an advantage of all these shoot from the hip "riverboat gambler" attitudes from schools like UTSA and other past start-up programs we've seen have early success in past years.

One thing the UTSA Road-Runners will find they are for certain losing is............

.......................the element of surprise.

Any of you see Coach McCarney letting our team look past UTSA now? :bling:

PS II: I am glad UTSA is a member of CUSA and I think both of our schools have

a great chance of creating a great rivalry with lots of visiting fans from both schools

when we tee it up.

As a lover of Texas history, San Antonio is (obviously) one of my favorite places to visit (and a

city I can drive to as well since I do not fly).

Taking UTSA lightly is a recipe for disaster. Larry Coker is one controversial call away (in double overtime) from having back to back national championships at Miami. Don't underestimate them or their coach.

We are lucky to have Middle Tenn, Rice, and UTSA all at home as it should give us an advantage. Our last 3 home games against Rice, UTEP, and UTSA could be really big for attendance. No rain please!

Miami? Really? Thats gonna carry over to UTSA? Come on. That's like wanting Florida results from Mac. Totally different situations. Shouldnt underestimate anyone, but that reason is just...nevermind.

Really!! Don't count guy who knows how to coach out. Is UTSA Miami no but knowing how to win is knowing how to win. Is smut, Kansas no but I bet Larry Brown wins some games. Coker is building a program from scratch and doing a pretty good job very quickly, should we win in November yes but if we look past them to Tulsa we could be in for a big upset.

Coker took over a program in Miami that was on the top and ran it into the ground, a fact that some seem to forget.

That said, he seems to be doing a decent job at UTSA (saying that is like pulling my teeth out).

If (and that's a big if) we were to win out there is at least a 50% chance we would host the CUSA title game. I'm not sure how the host is decided if both the east and west winners go undefeated in conference. There have been a lot of hypotheticals out there recently. If we were to host the CUSA title game would it sell out? I would say yes if it were promoted right. That's a long way down the road but it would be pretty neat.

Because we all know how easy it is for an assistant to take a head coaching job on a talent laden team and win championships...

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
