Why should Vegas be beholden to sportswriter opinions?

Vegas odds aren't just about who will win. It's about what will draw in the most

So the coaches and media are giving BYU too much credit? Interesting if so.

Vegas has very very smart people doing their odds and do not rely on dumb polls.

I wonder why the poll people don't use the smarter Vegas people to do their jobs

IMO, there are a LOT of people smarter than the media people voting in the polls that could do it better.

Vegas is also doing it with a specific purpose in mind, make money.

The thing to keep in mind is that Vegas doesn't care who wins. They also don't

IIRC, Vegas lost approx 500 MILLION on the BYU LSU game in 2017

You are wrong. We crossed the 50 one time that game

Lol, no. They didn't lose 500 million on a BYU game. They probably didn't even

Advanced analytics has Notre Dame rated #14 and BYU #42. Thats more likely

The source you posted has Utah ranked #5. That should tell you all you need to know.

Agreed. FEI is obviously the most accurate ranking system.
ALUF 1990
10/7/22 9:08am
BTW, your advanced analytics also have Iowa ranked ahead of Iowa St. and Texas A&M ahead of App St.

College rankings are based primarily on wins and losses. LV cares about matchups

Vegas lines are variable and move over time to help create less loss for the casino.

Vegas is no respecter of Rankings

Rankings are a macro view. Vegas knows individual games are about matchups.

It’s simple dude. Folks voting in rankings are not the folks making the odds.

Its 100% about how people will bet. Has nothing to do with what team is better.

BYU has bad adv analytics and Notre Dame has better adv analytics?

Vegas is right more times than polls

Rankings based on 1st game to now, bet is based on how they are trending now.

Easy. Betters disagree with the rankings

Polls are backwards looking, Vegas is forward looking
