So if Vegas set the short spread based on perception, why hasn't it moved since Miami is getting around 80% of the bets? Oh yeah...because Vegas has their money and fully expects App State to cover the spread, thus Vegas wins.
Also, it doesn't matter how or why the game was scheduled. Due to the fact that App State's AD is a former Marketing Coordinator or some variation of that for Mizzou, he is able to sell the program and the series. This App State team, as a whole, is better than the 2007 team that beat Michigan. The only real disparity is QB play and Armanti Edwards was the first CFB QB regardless of division to throw for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000 yards in a career.
In regards to Miami being the first P5 school to visit (P5 is a bull**** division created by ESPN to drive their cash cow further while stomping out the programs who more or less cost more to broadcast than they bring in) you have to start somewhere. Don't let the P5 v. G5 fool you. The talent gap is actually closing while the monetary gap (due to TV contracts and the playoff set-up) is widening. It isn't a coincidence that G5 and FCS victories over P5 schools has remained constant while the dollars continue to flow to schools who traditionally are seen as more powerful, though that power resides purely in marketability.
Miami fans (not necessarily the team) is going to be in for a rude awakening this Saturday and you'll learn that your bulldog attitude can't match up to your puppy dog ***.
Miami fans is?
That app store degree is really paying off I see
