CFB Playoff Predictor Says Not Probable



DraftKings Sportsbook lines

01 Georgia: -9000
02 Notre Dame: -4000
03 Alabama: -7000
04 Miami (FL): -2500
05 Utah: -700
06 Indiana: -600
07 UCLA: -450
08 Texas: -380
09 Boise State: -190
10 Wake Forest: -105
11 Tennessee: +120
12 Ole Miss: +175
13 New Mexico +180
14 LSU +200


+200 betting odds is roughly a 24% to 32% implied probability

After this past Saturday I just hope we beat Texas.

But that probability is not based on "what happens if LSU wins out." Baked into that probability is the remaining games LSU has to win to get there. Should LSU beat Texas and Tennessee, then that implied probability of making the playoffs with go way up.

In this hypothetical no way do I see 10-2 Houston finishing ranked ahead of 9-3 LSU. 10-2 BYU I understand, Houston no way.

Well, yeah, because, as it's clearly identified, the list is DraftKings Sportsbook lines for making the playoffs. So, you know it considers all possibilities for all games.

Rummy said that a poster can make alternative arguments in the same thread.

And that's not just Rummy, it's in the rules.

Don't argue with me; argue with the rules.

Why even try to figure this out right now?

Let it play out a little bit first.

This.


Obviously I’d love the playoffs and thought we’d be there. With that said the program just needs some sense of progress and winning these next two games would do that.

I hear what you are saying, but Houston’s only two losses came away from home, falling by two points at #12 Texas Tech (28–26) and by eight points at #2 Utah (21–13). Neither game was out of reach in the fourth quarter.

Even if LSU wins out, the Tigers still have an 18-point home loss.

That’s what worries me too. We can’t control what happens around the country, but winning out gives us the strongest argument possible. Take care of our business first and see how everything falls into place.

Right, we need one or two minor upsets to occur.

I cross my heart and swear on my honor that if they lose Saturday, I won't worry about it any more.

Deal?
