Lou Holtz's Bowl theory

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 11:27 pm

if a team played good in their last game, he picks against them because they will come out flat in their bowl game.

if they played bad in their last game, he picks them because they will play good in the bowl game.

he's justified his picks 2-3 times this way today. that's just weird to me as an all-inclusive rationale.

anyone check to see if he's been correct?

hawaii lost their last game
fsu lost their last game
byu won their last game
?

I'll bet it works out around 50-50 in the long run.

it's certainly "counter-intuitive". i'll give him that.

If he at least knows what teams are playing each other, he's already a step ahead of a certain co-worker.
