2015 Sagarin Says

[SanDakotaState]

Yes, I have seen the bunnies hop about and play. Kansas, no so much an offensive juggernaut scored all sorts of points on the vaunted bunny D so not too worried. Will they give the Bison a game........of course, we are their rival and super bowl game. I have one word for the bunnies..........over-rated.

Superbowl game, really? It's a rivalry game and that's it. SDSU is beyond beating NDSU in the regular to have a successful season. The Jacks are looking for playoff wins and advancing in the playoffs. Don't play like this game is due or die for the Jacks season. We all know you dislike (more than hate) SDSU because you live in SoDak and complain constantly about it (remember that one time when that one person in Sioux Falls said something bad about NDSU? boo hoo) c'mon. (not hating on NDSU, just tired of SDbison's crap.) It will be a helluva game October 3rd. I'm looking forward to it. We shall see who is overrated (if anyone is) than. (Bring on the neg reps and comments because of this post)

This makes it sound like if Sagarin predicts they will win 7-0 and they win 14-0 they are performing 200% better than expected.


/math

It works on the scoring margin so winning by 14 instead of 7 would exceed expectations by 7 points, but the trick is the standard deviation of scoring margins around the average is roughly 14 points so outperforming in a single game by 7 compared to expectations is only 19% better (half a standard deviation in one direction) than previously anticipated.

OK Mr hypersensitive. Yep, usually SDSU grads don't give a crap about their sports teams, but you are proof that once Jackass fans got that one win against FBS powerhouse Kansas everything changed and it's time to get cocky. LOL Bunny turds.

Lmao so sdsu is beyond beating the Bison to have success. Wonder if going 0-6 the last four years has anything to do with how they measure success now?

Really? Are you f'ing serious? Wow. Bunny love sure has gone viral at Bisonville.

Couple days really changes your opinion, huh?

Based on the sloppy play today Bison will get beat by the bunnies........sad but true. Whatever happened to the NFL prospect Wentz?

So how does this show I changed my opinion. I am concerned about NDSU's consistency on offense and that it could cost them the game against SDSU. LOL if you think I like the Bunnies, but some Bisonville posters sure do love to make them out to be the best FCS team even before conference play begins.

Could it be that maybe, just maybe, they closed the book after both of the last games were in hand?

I was at that SDSU game at Kansas. They might be worse than Wyoming. KU put themselves in a hole but Cozart was digging them out before that last drive. I have faith in CJ that he can handle Weineke to a certain extent but without ZZ we don't need so many in the box to cover him up.

They have yet to be tested. I think they have a lot of confidence coming into this game and won't have any of it taken away by Robert Morris but if we play our game, I think we'll be OK.

Hope you are right that NDSU justs stops running plays that could make big gains when they have a lead. And I hope Kansas is as bad as usual. Regardless, SDSU is gaining confidence and I hope this Bison team is ready for conference play.

Getting called Mr. hypersensitive by you is pretty ironic, don't you think? What makes you so cocky about the upcoming SDSU game? Is it the handling of Weber State and UND? Or is it the 3 point road loss at Montana? There is just a lot of hype going into this Marker Game because of the result of last years playoff loss at the Fargo Dome. I'm expecting the same type of result but hopefully with the Jacks not pissing the game down their leg this time.

I would say instead of working harder, they got very vanilla. Better that than to give a bunch of tape to a future opponent. Kansas is dreadful. I mean, almost every team but a couple in the MVFC could have beaten them.
