They already dropped an undefeated FSU out of the top #4 because of Jordan Travis' injury, they are looking for any reason to leave them out. 0% chance they make it with a Louisville loss. They are -190 to make the playoffs, and -175 to beat Louisville, meaning the two events have a massive overlap.

As always, use Mred's tourney tool to try and figure out potential BTT seedings. It looks to me like we'll get a double bye with a win in either of our last two games, and would be around the #9 seed if we lost both. We can finish as high as a #2 with two wins and a little help, which is pretty insane for a team trying to play their way in.

Been a little bit, but 2011 - 2016 was a knife fight annually between OSU and MSU. Games decided by 3, 1, 12, 3, and 1 points, with MSU winning 2 of 5.

Less likely at a population level, yes. But comparing two people, one vaccinated and one not, that both have contracted Covid, the one that is vaccinated is more likely to be asymptomatic than the one without the vaccine. I think that's what he is saying.

Grew up about a half mile from the stadium, and walked to games every Saturday with my Dad. For me there wasn't really another choice, it was inevitable. I think the Braylon game against MSU or Manningham game against PSU were my faves.

I've been on DraftKings and FanDuel for about 1.5 years and have loved them both, curious why you say that.

IF you itemize, you can…

IF you itemize, you can reduce your taxable income by the amount you lost (deductions), but then your income goes up by your winnings. The amount you deduct can only go up to the amount you won, so you can never actually reduce your taxable income by gambling. So if you increase your taxable winnings by $10k, and reduce it by your losses (deduct), then you're effectively paying taxes on the $2k in net winnings. If you lost more or the same amount that you won, the two cancel out and there's no tax changes.

The rules were changed from beginning of the season to the end, that's all I was saying. Wasn't sure if they had established clear rules in the beginning of bball season or not because I hadn't yet heard that they had.

Additionally, how would it make sense for teams to start playing a season without knowing the rules for how to win their conference? That's just illogical. 

I asked because that's essentially what happened in football. We started the season with one set of rules and ended with a different set. Thanks for the information, I had missed that bit from the Illinois AD.

Honest question, but do we…

Honest question, but do we know that for a fact? I feel like we kept hearing throughout the season that it would "likely be winning percentage" but was that decision made prior to competition?
