So that’s Pitt and Duke.

And I think the different in Net Rankings has a lot to do with the OOC, we also got absolutely killed in the WVU and Michigan games which didn’t help.

I think Pitt is in a bit better shape than we think. Another Q1 win this week would be massive.

If that's all the information that you have, one team has a better record against a tougher schedule. So isn't the answer pretty obvious?

Yea but what I'm saying there isnt a ton of difference between them. I dont care if they are called Duke. We are just as good as them and I will disappointed if we lose.

Well I certainly think that we have a chance, but if you really think that there is no difference between the teams and that we should win you are going to have an opportunity to put your money where your mouth is, because they are going to be favored by probably six or seven points.

Because they have Duke on their jerseys. We are slightly better but of course, that doesn't mean we'll win.

If you think that that's the way that point spreads work in 2023 then we have found another subject on which you are clueless.

There is too much smart money out there now for the books to manipulate the odds because of the name on a team's jersey. There is nothing that the books would like less than to make the spread Duke -6 instead of the Duke -2 that they think that it should be based on how they think the public will react to the names on the jerseys and then end up with a ton of sharp money getting four extra points.
