Maybe the Stanford/Cal game tonight...
Sorry, I don't do college basketball. Check out my reply to Barmans post in Illinis moneymanagement thread. It uses the 97 Florida@ LSU game. Another perfect example of a LETDOWN, especially after a brutal loss, was last years Fresno State @ S Calif game. Fresno fought their guts out to lose the game at the very end. You just knew that Fresno would be in a funk afterward. The next week Fresno went to Nevada as a 18 point favorite. Nevada wins straight up 38-35. Fresno followed that defeat with another loss at home as a 24 point favorite over La Tech. Fast forward almost a month later in the Liberty Bowl. Fresno was a 7 point favorite over a resurgent Tulsa( OBTW, Tulsa was our Rubberband Game) Tulsa wins straight up. Fresno ia an extreme example where one loss(usc) sends a team on an extended free for all. I promise you that if I really LOVE a game there will be a few situational angles that have proven the test of time.
