What is smarter ? BCS or Vegas

[pokernut9999]

# 4 Florida favored over #1 Alabama

[durito]

neither is relevant

[pokernut9999]

neither is relevant

Please explain

[daneblazer]

whatever computer that has Utah #1

[pokernut9999]

The coaches voted Alabama #1
The media voted them #1
The fans voted them #1
The computers have them #1


A line is supposed to get even action, so someone is way off.

[The Seer]

that is all based on perception, it doesn't mean Vegas thinks Florida is that much better, I'm sure they don't

[jjgold]

Vegal line is most accurate predictor of who is actually bettor

perception is Alabama is better based on all the polls


Coaches, media, fans, and computers. No one seems to see the oddity here ?

Correct JJ , Bama is only #1 because of the unbeaten record. If they lose Saturday they will freefall.

[dwaechte]

The BCS is not designed to rank the teams in order of who's best, it is designed to rank the teams on their body of work to date.

Yeah you don't understand how markets operate at all.

[durito]

the only thinking in vegas involves checking what cris opened the line at and copying it

[MoneySportsGuy]

Florida wins

[BestPlay2day]

Haven't looked for any opening lines on the Florida/Alabama game next week. I would make Florida a -7 favorite.

[MoneySportsGuy]

Alabama is not going to put up alot of points and Florida great running and passing. Question is how Harvin is going to be used and how effective with his injury

[Kingctb27]

Line will drop with news on Harvin, but it won't even matter. Florida has plenty of players that can replace him. Florida will roll. Bama hasn't seen a team like this in some time.

kind like Geo - 7.5 over GTech was Geo better on their home field?

Correct me if im wrong, but i don't think Florida has seen a team like Alabama???

[LT Profits]

Florida wil win because the difference between the Florida offense and the Alabama offense is light years greater than the difference in the defenses. The Gators can score on anyone in the country right now.

Oh and back to the original question, the Bookamkers have a much better grip on who the better teams are than the BCS does. And I am not talking about Vegas at wll either (see: Durito post #12).
