Hilarious ESPN Win Probability Graph

[Beej1953]

After Syracuse’s last score to make it 24-22, ESPN showed Syracuse with a 65% win probability with Tech with the ball at the beginning of the death march drive. How the F did they arrive at that?

Hell that's about how bad I felt about it as well

Let's be honest, that was about right given how many 3 and outs we'd had to that point.

AI is a Tech fan

In their defense, that game was all over the place and 65% was probably a really good guess at that point.

Projection

So they projected another safety?

22+2 = 29. Math checks out

 

[justafan]

I bet ESPN has one guy doing the GameCast for like 20 games at once

 

[gtgtgt1]

Honestly would you expect anything less?

No, but 22+2= 24 the last time I checked, but it’s been awhile

24 was us. We were winning 24-22 at the time. The projection was 24-29 them at the end.

Fairly confident that there is NOT similar post on Syracuse board lmao

You guys flipping numbers back and forth confuse me. Just use home team 1st like soccer

Think it was just a fat finger. Yahoo’s won probability doesn’t show the same thing

And you passed calculus?

Someone in the game thread said Gamecast had Syracuse’s score messed up for a while. Clearly Gamecast was struggling yesterday.

That’s crazy. They projected a team that was down by 2 points in the second half, that was an underdog to begin with, to win?
