Why does Mississippi seemingly pull off so many more upsets than us?

Are you really that dense? What you are missing is covering the spread <span style="font-weight: bold;">DOES NOT EQUAL</span> upsets; therefore, all that crack research you did earlier is pointless.

is not the same as covering. Please enlighten us all to how they are the same.

And I do have that historical perspective.

The past is prologue. Old times here are often forgotten.

I'm wooly about the next few years.

Is it an upset if a #25 home team beats a #24 team which was favored by 1? What about if the spread was 2 points? 3 points? Pickem?

Does it continue to count as an upset if a Team A (20th ranked) beats Team B (ranked #2) in the 1st game of the season, but Team A ends the season ranked 15 spots ahead of Team B ?

Will anyone view the basketball victory at Arkansas as an upset if the 'Backs don't right the ship? (UPig was favored by 6.5 points during the morning of Jan. 10)

I'm not trying to start a new discussion, I just think that "upset" is misapplied too much these days.

It's okay to admit you are wrong sometimes Coach. The point spread angle should have stayed on the shelf.

are the 7 wins as an underdog for football and basketball for the last 10 years(since your original post mentioned both sports)? Forgive me if I'm reading that wrong.

I think the sixpack should have a section of the board dedicated to dubmass posts, kinda like a bizzaro world sixpack remembers. Let this be the first inductee.
