using what formula?
if both teams get the ball to start a half, how is one guaranteed one more possession?

Not very good math...you are wrong..say LSU defers..flrida gets the ball first but the half ends with lsu with the ball..same amount of possesions..now LSU gets the ball at half so we are plus one on them then lsu ends the game with the ball

Well, I don't know how you're going to make the Rose Bowl since that's traditionally Pac-10 v. Big-10, but good luck with that.
You can watch us on TV in the National Championship game.

Whoever has the ball last. Games are won in the 4th

Defer you big dummy, you'll get the ball in the second half.
Think about it, score right before half-time, get it back and score again.

Plus deferring adds in the possibility of losing a possession and being behind. Then getting the ball back to start the half.

+1

I NEVER understand why teams defer.
If you take the ball, you GUARANTEE yourself either the same number of possessions as the other team during a game, or you get ONE more possesion.
If you defer, it's the opposite. You either get the same amount, or one less. Somewhere in the last 10 years, someone outsmarted the process.
Here's the drive chart from LSU/UGA last week. UGA got the ball in the first half. Final tally: LSU 12 possesssions, UGA 11. Your math is flawed.

ok, I'll bite. How exactly did you come to this conclusion?
I didn't. I was wrong.
If there is an odd number of possesions in the 1st half, and an even number in the 2nd half, the team that accepts gets one more possesion.

Another, easier way to say it would be that the team that gets the ball most ends up with more possessions.
