Texas has been a mediocre team this year with a mediocre QB. We have been getting better and better. How do they assume there is such a large probability of Texas winning?

They are using their dumb FPI in the calculation.

Who cares? It wouldn't surprise me if those were the odds when the season started and nothings just been updated.

Just win.

If we focus on the next game every week, we have a good shot of winning it. Keep doing that and the numbers will be very different by the time we play tu.

FPI bakes in a huge advantage for home field and also weighs recruiting heavily. It's not a great predictor.

you forgot the tu multiplier in their formula - those odds won't change when they are 6-5 entering the game

If they put that backup in, all of a sudden they are pretty salty… they will likely be 9-2 when we meet up who knows Arch could be out with a vaginal strain by then.

Counting on the SEC to hook them up with the all alumni officiating crew and 3rd generation replay official.

We should have at least a 40% chance by game week, but ESPN FPI says Texas has a 65% chance of beating us because they are ranked 7th in ESPN FPI, despite their 4-2 record and 1-2 record against Power 4 teams.

ND is ranked about 7 spots ahead of the Aggies AFTER losing to the Aggies at home. That's some quality analytics right there

ESiPN also gave Notre Dame a 75% chance of beating us... just goes to show that their prediction simulator is trash much like their woke virtue-signaling content.

They are using their dumb FPI in the calculation.

I swear the "FPI" exists to keep tu relevant. I remember after their 7-5 regular season in 2019 ESiPN had sip in their top 20 FPI. They were awful that year.

Texas is losing 2-3 more games at least. OU sucks. Their only P4 win is against a team that is going to end up unranked.

tu and a few other programs which would be good for ratings during the playoffs and bowl season. I think ESPN's objective is to manipulate the playoff and bowl selection committees. It's all about $.

so were we.

yet managed to finish 1 spot ahead of tu in FPI.


FPI is pretty bad in my opinion, but its not just limited to the sips

ESPN has a very personal relationship with sip dating back to the longwhorn network

This game will have ESPN refs and it includes a multiplier for T-shirt fans.

FPI exists to pimp their favorite hos that bring in the most eyeballs. Duh.

I don't think the sips win but I bet the refs do.
