Unreal. It looks like Georgia took a page from the briles book on how to schedule OOC opponents. However I doubt Baylor would ever schedule anyone as tough as UMass. Not on purpose anyway.
May 22, 20187 yr I remember last year there was some CFB writer who was all over Maryland +18. He was going on and on about "run, don't walk, to your bookie". He even called that Maryland might win the game outright. At the time, I thought he was a giant fucking idiot. Whoops.
May 22, 20187 yr maryland preview. Looks like the 3 QBs return. IIRC Pigrome started vs. Texas , got hurt , then true FR Kaysim Hill (not Taysom Hill) still performed well to win it. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/maryland-terrapins-2018-spring-football-preview

If somebody is a little bit hobbled (a la BYU or UMD last year or any number of KSU teams)...they beat us by two touchdowns. I could actually see this as a true neutral site game. 50% Maryland, 40% Texas, 10% homeless people from DuPont Circle who wander onto the Blue Line. DuPont Circle is the Red line... but the dude in front of the subway agrees.
May 22, 20187 yr My bad. But the blue line takes you out to Landover, right? Bold prediction, the game will be at 3:30-EDT. Which will make it tough to get to the Nats game that night. But Cardinals play there on Labor Day afternoon.

May 22, 20187 yr Guess y'all didn't get the SECSECSEC scheduling memo? UGA, like the rest, only play eight SEC games - the entire conference hits on four schlubs (or at least three and a quarter) every season and raises the whole conference's winning percentage by a smooth eight and 2/3. Had to bet, I'd guess the quarter schlub on UGA's dance card would be GaTech.

I'm not questioning your math and I know other conferences are guaranteed extra losses by playing an extra conference game per team, but can you show your work on this?

Thanks I'll never find it again but at one point maybe a year or two ago I saw an article that walked through that very calculation and the effect it had on over-inflating SEC team rankings. It's out there somewhere with all the calculations showing why SEC teams are overranked year over year. This goes largely ignored because Alabama does Alabama things.
May 22, 20187 yr No way in hell I lay that many points for the opening game of the season on the road. If forced to bet I would probably take Maryland on the ML (should be around +300), which is probably where the value is.

What would that have to do with conference play or even the condoms? You could make the argument that if we're undefeated after the ousux game that we run the table, but after the first game of the season is premature.
May 23, 20187 yr I hadn't even realized this was being played at FedExField. Maryland only averaged about 39K in terms of attendance last year so no way they come close filling out 82K capacity. Maybe the opening game creates some buzz for Maryland fans, but seems like there will be a lot of empty seats or Texas fans. Edited May 23, 20187 yr by texasstrong12

They'll bring more than their average attendance and there's a strong Texas contingent in the Washington area. Should be really solid turnout.
