Our secondary gets exposed and McD throws 3 picks

[Dutch]

no, you don't get it. we're only supposed to predict wins on here.

[ponyboy]

On paper, this TCU team ought to win rather easily. But we may be better than the #60 ranking Sagarin gives us -- and you never know in this rivalry. (TCU, by the way, is #17 per Sagarin).

[ponyinNC]

close at the half just like last year...but this year we finish in the 4th quarter and push through. No special teams mistakes guys, please. No kerley-like punt return TD.

SMU 35 TCU 31

38-27 SMU

I do not understand predicting a loss. Do you guys take any joy out of being right? If so, then you are not really a fan. If not, then why the hell are you doing it?

Yo Goldenstang, no joy will be had by me if we lose. Simply going on record with a score and hoping that I'm wrong

[Mestengo]

I still don't like it perception is everything

[Mestengo]

And on another note I always believe were going to win until proven otherwise on the field at the time during the game

[Stallion]

OK great we'll be sure and discount every thing you say in the future. Go Pony High School.

[CalallenStang]

And on another note I always believe were going to win until proven otherwise on the field at the time during the game

it is one thing to believe. It is another thing to expect.

For the first few weeks of the season, the starting ratings have weight
in the process(BAYESIAN), but once the teams are all WELL CONNECTED, then
the starting ratings are no longer used and all teams are started equal
and the RATING, ELO-CHESS, and PURE POINTS (PREDICTOR) are then done in an UNBIASED manner from that point on.
The teams are now UN-CONNECTED and so all three ratings are BAYESIAN.

In other words, TCU is getting credit for being the team that won the Rose bowl and that is quite a bit different than the team we will be playing.

If we cleanup our turnovers and do not give up any really long returns, SMU 34 TCU 27
