I assume you mean the SRS. How is it skewed?
Not trying to harsh on the SRS, but in this case think it would be more relegated to conference foes of similar strength. The mano-y-mano equation here, the vols have the goods at every position. Regardless of SOS, when you are outmanned at such a degree, models generally have a very hard time "assigning" a number to the great variance, imo.

"stats are irrelevant" you lost me there.
If one is taking appy state's rushing, passing, defensive stats, etc... numbers and trying to correlate them against the vols stats, it has no relevance. Gaining one yard in the SEC is a lot tougher than the Sun Belt.

How does handicapping the game determine whether or not the Vols come out flat or not?
Motivation is probably the biggest edge in betting college sports against a set line. A lot of teams this week in the early going, may go vanilla. There are simply bigger fish to fry next week and subsequent weeks. If the Vols come out coked up crazy (they might) katy-barr the door, it's going to be a long night for appy.

You're all over the place, razor. I can't follow what you're trying to say.
I get that a lot for some reason.
