Does Vegas in addition to everyone else still not know what they're talking about concerning Ole Miss, posters on the rant?

They have Ole Miss 5th in the west.. which is about where everybody thinks they'll be

Every time Ole Miss is in the top 15 people say they're overrated.

Vegas doesn't rank teams.
They set betting lines hoping to draw even money on games.

I don't know if anyone has ever done a study on which is more accurate, Vegas or the Coaches/media... But I bet Vegas.

if picking the sec champ by our own media is any indication of the coaches opinion, its vegas in a landslide. That being said, i see 8 wins, possibly 9. Im not gonna argue with the publicity though, Vegas typically knows their shite

Arkansas is the biggest surprise, at least on the surface. The Razorbacks are getting a ton of love from professional gamblers as well as from early lines in sports books, ranking at No. 6 in the simulated Vegas poll. This isn’t as big of a surprise if you’re familiar with analytics and nerdy stats. Arkansas has finished 0-7 in one-possession games under coach Bret Bielema, something I’ve chronicled endlessly this offseason. In the eyes of professional gamblers, this is a sign that the team has been better than its record indicates and could be undervalued. The gambling market already reflects this.

Vegas in a blowout. Always.

Lots of money will be lost betting on Tennessee. Fools gold.

Looks right to me. 5 SEC-W teams in the top-12 and all 7 ranked. On the other side, 3 SEC-E teams.
Seriously, I think Vegas is giving us too much credit. I'm flattered and all, but we didn't lose all those close games because we're simply "unlucky".
