If the game was played in Hawaii, the Warriors would have a 1% chance of winning that game. Because it's in Boise, I downgrade the possibility of an upset to .0001%

The only question when it comes to Hawaii football, is how will they do ATS?

Hawaii is currently 7-1 versus the spread. #2 in the country, only behind Utah.

Razor that seems to ring a bell. Isn't that kind of normal from them? (I think you have given this factoid in the past.)

They aren't usually quite this good ATS, but they've been a decent team to bet on for a while - particularly at home.

I've noticed something.

This year ESPN is using the BCS ranking to show the teams rank...they have almost always used either the AP or the USA Today poll.

Maybe I'm just not a fan of ESPN, but I think if the computers had Ok at 10, they would have used the human polls. Cynical? Yes.

Okay, I just noticed some tomfoolery with the rankings! In the "upcoming games" section, they said Auburn was #1 and then in the promotion of the Oregon/USC game they said Oregon was #1.

See....its what they do. I don't trust them, don't ask exactly why...cause I don't think I could tell you...but I do not.

Just like the rest of the world really. This car is #1 by J.D. Power. This car is #1 by Road and Track.

ESPN just applies this to the teams for them as part of their own branding. You can't say it isn't true. But I want to see how they tout 2 teams if one is ranked #20 in one poll and the other ranked #20 in the other (each teams highest ranking).
