Week 10 Upset Alert Thread

Oh, well how did they determine an upset a few years ago when betting lines weren’t even announced on tv? So and so would say number 22 just upset number 6. Not the +4.5 team just upset the -4.5 team. I thought the rankings determined the playoff, not betting lines.
 
There needs to be some kind of punishment for those that routinely call the favored team winning an upset.

For future reference, Tennessee is a one point favorite over Kentucky. You’ve been warned

there were betting lines for the Frazier/Ali fights in the 1970s.

Betting lines have been readily available for decades

yes, because betting is a concept that is exclusive for football

there is no way you're this retarded, so i'm going to assume that you're being deliberately obtuse
 
I didn’t say it wasn’t around. It wasn’t announced on tv and media like it is is currently. Gameday wasn’t providing odds 5-10 years ago. If a lower ranked team beat a higher ranked team, it was viewed as an upset.
 
Halftime

Cal - 0
Arizona - 0

Cal was favored by 7.

I used to have a tag line that said I would go to any college football game no matter how bad the teams sucked. This game might have made me rethink that.

Oops. On the other site I placed 526 on Sparty. Meant for Purdue. I think on the college pickem
I have Purdue over Sparty. I want an unbeaten Sparty team when we play them. We need to build up the resume.
