What to make of the James Madison spread

23 is a lot. Don't think I have seen this before in a Conference championship (maybe Boise in their hayday?).

To me it seems a lot and it gives Troy no respect. Not sure what to think.

Man, you are in love with James Madison.    This issue is you they have 1% chance. I Never say 0% but they are almost at 0 to win the title. Who would they matchup with in the playoffs? Why tarnish the season with them getting trucked by Ohio St,Georgia, Indiana, Oregon and so on. I like the LSU baseball team but the cant beat the Dodgers. Ohio St is great but they wouldn't win a superbowl.  Florida had a great NCAA tournament but, they cant compete with OKC... James Madison is a great story! Just a different league.  

JMU blew out the bad teams.  Didnt blow out the good teams, except maybe Texas State when they were really struggle bussing.

Troy is a good team.  23 is too much IMO

lay it

First, if you are going to hate on my cheering on JMU, please do it in the correct thread .

Secondly, regarding JMU, yes they have 0% chance to win the CFP. But a group of 5 is awarded a spot (as long as everyone isn't 8-5 in those conferences). It doesn't matter at this point because the committee has both North Texas and Tulane above them. HOWEVER, if (and its a big if) Duke somehow wins on Saturday night, we could possibly have 2 Group of 5 champions in the top 12. So anything is possible.

was leaning troy bc they held their own vs clemson.  however. they gave up 350 rushing yards to old dominion.   jmu might literally run up the score to like 52-10 with 500 rushing yards

Key here is JMU D vs Troy O.....

Specifically JMU defensive front vs Troy OL, one of nation's worst. JMU also needs style points - and should get extra possessions because Troy won't be able to run, at all....

Technically - line should be 21 or so, but anything under 24 is probably ok.  Betting JMU live, or TT over is maybe a better idea. It's a low number, but Troy TT under - probably works.

Still gotta play the game.  Backdoor cover is a possibility here.

Does the weather being in the low 30's hi 20's factor in at all?
