This is the same computer model that had Hurricane Katrina hitting Brownsville.

No it isn't. The algorithms for Vegas lines likely account for public perception in some way, but the lines are much more analytical than simply a prediction of public perception. That's just silly.

The initial line, yes, but the line varies greatly depending on public influence.

The sad part is if this had LSU #1 the their fans would have created 100 threads already about it and beating their chest.

So LSU beat the #3, #6, #7, with a chance to beat the #5 team too while Ohio State beat #9 & #10 with a chance to beat #9 twice. Obviously OSU has the better resume. Lol
