It is really about SMU. Lots of experts thought SMU would challenge for the ACC

It's partly about SMU... but also Wyoming plays a big role

Is this just by record, or is there more involved?

Doesn’t factor in *how* we won. Which, I’m told, is why CB is usually apoplectic after a game we… (checks notes) won.

Record vs expectations. There were really really low expectations, so this

How the heck are we 1.5+ overachievers if we were favored in 2 games?!

It isn't 100% or 0% til after the game is over. If BYU is given 10% chance of

Those percentages were crap. As if BYU would lose to Wyoming. Shoulda been 90%

this was preseason expectations. The expectations would certainly change with

I know, I’ve just been saying all along that preseason expectations were too low

If you felt that way, you could have made a lot of money in Vegas this year.

I tried betting on DraftKings but it wouldn’t let me since I’m in Utah. Maybe

Preseason Ford had us 75% to beat SIU, 15% to beat SMU, 57% to beat Wyoming

How is Notre Dame at expectations? No one expected them to lose to NIU

Vegas did not take into account injuries or the number of 2023 portal additions

That's a function of how this is measured

NIU and UNLV being undefeated seem like much bigger surprises than BYU imo 🙂

It is a bigger surprise...but not as far ahead of expectations

krindorr

Sep 18, 1:40pm

Yep its my own bias (expecting to win against SMU)

Remember our massive losing streak to end last year?
