Vegas Poll

(*Every oddsmaker does not use this set of rankings, this is our power poll)

After a quick glance you’ll notice 4 teams; Louisville, Missouri, Miami FL, and Texas Tech aren't held in the same regard by Vegas as they are by pollsters.  Honestly, after watching Tech a few times this year the fact they're ranked 15th in the Coaches Poll because they're undefeated is comical.  Call it a hunch but if Tech played road games at Arizona St and at Ohio State like the Wisconsin Badgers already did, they'd have 2 blemishes on their record too.  Our goal as oddsmakers isn’t to use the pointspread as a predictive measure of what will happen but rather to force bettors to make tough choices when they bet games. That’s exactly why you see the nation’s third best team (allegedly Clemson) as underdogs in their own stadium this very weekend.  Just do me a favor when a ranked team is an underdog to a side without an alpha numeric beside them in the popularity poll; refrain from calling it an upset if the favorite wins because it just makes you look like an idiot.
