Look at the ESPN bowl prediction percentages and you will conclude they have no clue and their compututer algorithm sucks.
 
Dream on ESPN

Those 2 percentages they give us at UF and Texas AM tells me all I need to know about their “model”.

The powers that be in CT apparently dont now that UK is loaded with a bunch of alpha dawgs.

This aint pigskin ESPN!
It is not about powers that be. It is not about the alpha dog count. It is about having your best players on the floor when games are decided and keeping harmony in the locker room. ESPN's model is based on a statistical analysis. Your reaction is based on emotion. The basis of their statistical analysis will experience some variance during the season, but they are likely to be more accurate than your tantrum.

Wonder what Vegas says, I lean more towards their model of picking games.

Vegas will align almost perfectly with Kenpom. It almost always does. Here is the current Kenpom prediction. Obviously this will change as games are played.
