Sagarin Rankings usually take about 3 or 4 weeks to get in synch with what is mathematically happening in the world of college football. In today's rankings the Cards come in at #69. Among the remaining 8 opponents only WF comes in lower (#72). If we apply 2.7 point home game advantage we see the following forthcoming spreads:
FSU: -.2, IOW, Pick 'em
GT: -.6, IOW, Pick 'em
@BC: +8.3
WF: -3.1
@CLEM: +25.6
@'Cuse: +7.8
NC St: +9.2
UK: +6.4
That works out as 1 favorite, 2 pick 'ems and 5 clear cut 'dawgs. If we apply historical winning % of those spreads we go 2.7-5.3 the rest of the year or 5-7 for the season. FWIW, most pre-season math had us a tight FAV in most games but a 'dawg only against AL, Clem's Son and BC. Those early numbers projected a 7-5 season.
Peace
