he also picks Notre Dame by 7.5.
hope he's wrong.

As WiM said, he's a tinkerer and has tinkered with the overall formula in a way that makes it look really odd. Just going through his rankings is kind of wild, we're all the way down at like 26 (or at least were when I checked), and there were a bunch of other bizarre results that aren't just outliers with the AP poll, but with all the other statistical systems I'm aware of. I'm not sure what exactly he changed, but it really hates us. Everything else I've seen puts the game as being much closer, usually close to a dead heat on a neutral field.

in the Stanford Notre Dame thread, OutsiderFan mentions that this is an exremely dangerous game for gamblers.

i think Notre Dame should be favored since the game is at South Bend.  but by how many points is anyone's guess.

and in the same thread, ND Irish mentions that if there is an ACC officiating crew, we could see bad calls made against both teams.
