If 50% is wrong on average then if you change 50% you should get them all right? But if your right only half the time on average and you only pick half the games to change then you'll still only be half right, but maybe I'll get lucky and pick the half that was wrong to begin with and be alright.


That's how I try making them :wink:

Sometimes, I can't feel that I have a MAC bias, but I do honestly try to pick the 20 toughest matchups on the board. I do really feel that the MAC is one of the toughest conferences to pick from week-in and week-out, but at the end of the year I will do a statistical analysis where I show which conferences had the most representation and the amount of times each team was highlighted. Just browsing through generally, my guess is that the Mountain West would show up the most for the non-BCS and the ACC would show up for the BCS conferences.

Win or Lose - IT'S HOW YOU HYPE THE OUTCOME! BCS logic: When teams in the AQ conferences lose, it shows how tough those conferences are; when teams in non-AQ conferences lose, it is weakness.
