Forget Ole Miss?  That's understandable.  :razorback:

Ole Miss is banned from postseason play.

Ole Miss is banned from postseason play.

Does that include the SEC championship? I took it that's what those odds were.

Tennessee that high? Really? They're losing a lot.

Easy path in the East.  They still have some talent.

This is not, I repeat not a ranking of who they think will win. It's just to get money bet evenly.

Well, if you look at all the analysis on the internet and beyond those are exactly the teams picked to contend.

Funny how Vegas would set their odds based on analysis.

If only fans could bring themselves to do the same sometimes.

Fans root for their teams, not even close to the same.

What is your aversion to optimism?

What is your aversion to optimism?

I tend to favor accuracy.

I'm still not buying it, losing their top RB's, senior QB, top Wideouts, 3 or so draft picks from defense and butch isn't exactly known as a great in game coach. He can recruit like a drunk John daly but Georgia and South Carolina are both gonna be tougher than last year. Alabama and LSU as well, I can see them topping out at 8 wins.

I didn't ask what you favor. I want to know why you have a problem with anyone optimistic about the Hogs and their future.

If you can accurately predict future then put your money where your mouth is

I debate optimists on message boards.  If you have kept up with my posts then you would recall that I have said optimist are an important part of a fan base.

EDIT:  Actually, I said that those that DEMAND excellence are an important part of a fan base, but I would consider optimists important as well.  I hope that clears things up.

Not a gambling man, but my method for predicting records based on talent is pretty solid.

You're right. Optimists show up through thick and thin and keep the light bills paid.

Right is what I go for, so it's good to see you agree.

Yes, according to this article.

OXFORD – For those wondering, Ole Miss' self-imposed one-year postseason ban does include the SEC Championship Game along with a bowl, a school spokesman confirmed.

So no matter their record, the Rebels' season will end against Mississippi State on Thanksgiving (Nov. 23) in Starkville.

Thanks

I believe I will start making a living betting against Georgia. They are ALWAYS over rated...

Ya didn't really have my thinking cap on there. Remembering back to Nutts "vaunted" west championship....only reason that happened was because of Bamas postseason ban.

[widespreadsooie]

South Carolina has a ton of value at 50/1, they have a legitimate chance to win the East in my opinion. Other than them- I think UGA, AUB, and LSU would be worth a play.

That was true for the first one.  We went 7-1 in SEC play in 2006 and won the West outright.
