In the sims I did throughout the season the sim absolutely loved Alabama -- they ended the sim with the number one overall ranking. Interesting to see them bouncing Ohio State here!

... and that's the ultimate problem with computer models: crap in, crap out. We now understand that Alabama was extremely flawed and was capable of not just getting beat but getting run over (eg, Oklahoma). And THAT'S why I'm glad the playoffs are forcing teams to play the game.

I don't believe for a second that they would be better than OSU, and I'm guessing that Vegas would favor the Buckeyes by probably as much as a touchdown...

The computer predicted a 35 point loss by Penn State???

Their two losses this year were by 8 points to the #1 team Oregon and 7 points to the #6 Ohio State. I would love to know where that mathematical quandary is coming from...

Ya was definetly a 1 in 10 kind of simulation odds lol. For the most part the simulations were somewhat accurate, it overrated Bama but eventually came to their senses.
