#20 Texas is a 70% favorite against #9 Vanderbilt. Brother, I understand if this was a one off case, but this has been consistent throughout the whole season. I think Texas is a better team than vandy btw.

The rankings and the odds are doing completely different things. You are a moron.

That may be true, but they have not played like they are a better team than Vandy in a single game yet this year

Maybe it’s the 70% for Texas that’s the joke.

Who says 70% favorite?

Point spread is like 1.5 points, at home.

70% isn't even that strong of odds. And Texas has a lot more talent, is at home, both teams are ranked, etc. Seems reasonable.

You really should probably try to not hurt yourself trying to read this stuff, I fear you're out of your depth.

You're a Clemson fan, so I understand why you haven't watched much football this season, but it's not 1989.

The ESPN power stuff and the pollsters overrank most SEC teams to start the year and it results in this.

Are you getting this 70% from ESPN? I wouldn't count that.

Texas has the talent (Arch is *not* the talent obviously).
Vandy has the results.

The rankings are representative of what the team has done, not an indication of that they think they will do.

This is the problem with pre-season polls.

Vandy and Texas are ranked correctly. Vegas is about money and the line is all about that.

Feel like Texas beats vandy. I don’t know, they keep snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. I don’t think there’s really much separation of teams in the SEC this year.

I’ve seen an nfl graphic where it does the old “flip every one score game result”. Wonder what that looks like this year in the SEC

What have you seen on the field to lead you to that conclusion? Texas' offense has been a major dud all season long and if it weren't for their defense they'd probably have a losing record or .500 record.

The Texas fanbase is 100x as large and 100x as delusional.

I bet you weren't saying that the first 3 weeks of the season.

I sometimes forget that Texas is still relatively new and not all the memes have taken root here yet.

Let me help you out.
