Why should a #10 be a MASSIVE favorite?


and remember Tree, rankings are so skewed towards SEC that they have very little validity anyway.

Tree, massive faves cause they are playing at home...and we all know how boom feels about home field advantage..

Please keep bumping this thread...once I get over the ludicrous nature of the "Biggest Covers Wager Ever", I may just take you up on your offer Boom.

out of those 3, whichever conference wins 2 out of 3, the other person has to leave the site.

now that's it's a fair bet...want to take it? 
here is a idea for you sims.... why dont you go start a thread and lay the terms out.....

This thread is about this bet

Everyone wants to come in here and change the rules


The #1and#2 teams from any conference shouldn't be able to line up with the Florida and S.C, right? Right???? I mean this is what we here all the time....RIGHT????


Florida is #4

South Carolina is #12


Looks fair to me

LOL, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to?

Now you are gonna pick and choose which of your "haters" you accept?

Great Idea:

1)  Make a challenge that is unbelievable skewed in your favor
2)  Because you are so confident, you leave yourself an out with a "push"
3)  Then be selective on who accepts?

my point is...you are setting this up as..."i told you so, the SEC isn't as good as everyone says."  but the conditions are perfect (as Flight of Conchords would say) for you...ACC #1 and #2 playing at home against SEC 3 & 6.

if Clemson & FSU win, the verdict should be....good wins, but doesn't prove anything conference-wise.

if they don't win, it will be embarrassing and further show the SEC dominance.

now if this was ACC 1 & 2 against SEC 1 & 2, this "contest" would have some merit.

So by that logic, you would think UNC and GT (ACC #s 3&4) should be MASSIVE favs over Tex A&M and Miss St (SEC #s 5 &8) ......

Gimme A&M and MSU all day.

no...that is my point.  the SEC is completely and utterly dominant.

taking ACC 1 & 2 at home against SEC 3 & 6 proves nothing about the conferences.  but it's being set up as chest beating wins.

Hey, if my grandma had nuts....she would be my grandpa

Boom,

I appreciate the reply. Feel the same. It looks like you are using a variation of my reply to you in regards to A&M beating the Gators if they played now. I wrote if my aunt had balls, she would be my uncle. Have you seen a Gator/fsu line? Also, I think Clemson does beat So. Carolina. What is your thoughts on where the over/under will start at?

Whats unbelievably skewed? Hes saying his 2 picks are winners. Crazy , I know.

Obviously if you think its that outlandish, then you agree with him that Florida and SC get smoked.

If he started a thread last week that was:

I'll take Oregon and K St straight up and leave if the both lose......That would have been "unbelievably skewed" ....and would have lost.....

Get your shit together. Dont come in here with that weak shit.

i'll take the bet with these stipulations:

Florida +12.5

So Carolina +8.5

that is basically the same thing Boom is doing.  he is taking 6 pts in 1 game and 4 in the other.  so i'll do the same thing and show how skewed it is.

now...wouldn't it be dumb for anyone to take that?  and just as dumb for me to pound my chest if i won both?

same goes for Boom's bets.

Respect that you don't let personal feelings get in the way of recognizing valid points.

And you wonder why you catch so much shit..calling me a bitch when I've never said anything out of the way to you.  Grow up a little bit man 


And you're a smart guy.  Go back and read my post..it'll tell you why I won't take the bet.  

All I said was put yourself out there if you're so confident.  You just resort to name calling as usual.

What Sims said.

Whether the bet is gonna win or lose, doesn't change the fact that the bets were/are skewed.  You just said it yourself.  To make this challenge now and then claim it's ultimate proof that the SEC is overrated like Boom is inferring is ridiculous.

instead of trying to set up contests that are heavily favored in 1 direction, why don't we have a discussion?

what will Clemson and FSU beating SC and UF at home prove about the conferences?
