This thread has quickly become the blind leading the blind.  Can't you read? You take the dog! 

And the Southwest Athletic conference game does not apply.

This is not a complex system, and KP did a wonderfully thorough job in explaining it. To see the way so many can not grasp simple concepts boggles the mind.

Is there any wonder why Vegas builds such beautiful hotels ...

No system plays today - the two games that are being talked about are NOT system plays because they involve teams from conferences that do not play regularly lined games - here is the first two days of the system:

an 29th "Pre" System: 6-0

#293 Samford -6.5, LOST by 19 (system win)
#184 Miami (OH) -6.5, LOST by 5 (system win)
#226 Bowling Green -7.5 won by 5 (system win)
#259 Portland St. -9, won by 6 (system win)
#180 Penn -9, won by 2 in OT (system win)
#295 Eastern Illinois -7, LOST by 10 (system win)

Jan 30th "Pre" System: 1-0
#236 Illinois State -6.5, won by 2 in OT (system win)

Jan 31st - NO PLAYS

What I like about this system is that people are now looking at the underdogs way more and that will help us in the long run. 

Thanks for all the posts - just got off work so I will try to go through and answer any questions.  I will start a new thread for Tuesday's system plays (if there are any)

Texas Southern is tied for 1st in the SWAC and Hampton is in 2nd place in the MEAC, so obviously conference games are still important to both of these teams.

If these games had qualified for the system (which they don't as neither have regular lines posted) you still took the wrong team in Hampton as you play the DOG in KP's system. It would have been MES.

A simple way to see if they qualify as regularly lined games is to simple click on the matchups page here at covers.  If they played 16 games and are 1-3 ATS they would not be a regularly lined game.  Not my system...just trying to simplify that part of it.....unless of course Kine comes in and says that I am totally wrong!!

Before anyone asks, no games even come remotely close to fitting the system tomorrow. I don't know why I'm typing this because within 12 hours there will be at least 10 dolts asking if there any system plays...

Although MES didn't qualify for the system, decided to put something small on them as the dog anyway.. and here they are in a see-saw battle and may possibly pull out the victory, lol. Love it.

Again, that is the beauty of "the system" it causes us to look at games AND teams/sides that we wouldn't normally support.  Good luck!

Patience my friend!

Looks like there will be a couple of candidates on Wednesday

Normally there are more and more plays as the season comes closer to a close. 

No plays tomorrow from the early looks of it
