Shouldn't be that surprising. Most people are going to vote based on what just happened (Auburn beating Alabama) and/or team recognition and rankings... and Auburn wins all three.

Yet the line is only 1.5 or 2...
When 70% of the country thinks one team will win, and the point spread is that small...do I smell a rat? It seems like Vegas is begging for action on Auburn.

You're goddamn right, they are. They don't put a 1.5 pt line on a team with huge public sentiment because they hate the action, or expect much on Mizzou. If there's one thing I've learned in my brief time spent watching sports gambling (I don't partake... much), it's that Vegas is good at two things: 1) knowing where the public wants to put their money, and 2) taking that money. I like Vegas lines to get a feel for how teams should fare, but I can never pay much attention to games like this, since there will be so much money on the table, and the lines-makers deal far more with public sentiment than actual predictions. That said, a line that low screams that if they were somehow mandated to reveal their true lines, it'd probably be Mizzou -2.5 or so.

That's right. They're re-ranking this week.
Edit: Interesting that no Mizzou-commits went up.

I just imagined a line with a Sophomore Wallace, Sophomore Bauer, Senior Boehm, and Senior McGovern lined up next to one another in that order.

Probably rs. sophomore Clay Rhodes, I guess. Saccopoo is only interested in this line, though, if they're all Mormons from Utah. Any idea?

DGB(sr) Nate Brown (so) J'Mon Moore (rs. so) Culkin (rs. jr) Mauk (rs. jr) --- Hansbrough (hr) That's a pretty damn strong offensive unit if the OL works out the way it could. I fully imagine DGB is gone after his junior year, but stranger things have happened. The 2014 class is going to need to contribute at WR that year. I think Levi Copelin is a guy who can give them some quality PT, but really, they're going to need Nate Brown/Lawrence Lee/Thomas Richard/etc. to pop out some big-time production. Adding Dom Booth to the recruiting class would certainly help.

I just know that Rivals lists Bauer as a guard, and with his hip injury I figured he might not have the lateral mobility to play tackle. Wallace sounds like a pro in the making.

Yes. If Alabama wants a guy at LT, he's probably pretty good. Especially a guy outside their normal recruiting zones like Wallace.
