So to answer your question, that's not a source to use for win total projects. You want unbiased, look at the lines posted by casinos/books, which is what the OP is.

6.5 wins: you taking the over or under? (nm) - KCT-BoneTiger A - 8/9 10:09:56
     Our O/U last year was 5.5 and we were better than that - pinkman MU - 8/9 19:31:36
     Under. Six wins at best and that's IF we don't drop - tigerman81 MU - 8/9 18:10:00
     I'd probably take the over, but it's a close call. (nm) - zounami MU - 8/9 15:40:15
     RE: 6.5 wins: you taking the over or under? (nm) - Turk Tomich MU - 8/9 14:45:22
     Push - slamduncan KC - 8/9 14:43:54
          you cannot push that bet(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 14:58:34
     coaches poll says five(nm) - tmcats KSU - 8/9 13:45:23
          But that was for 2017.(nm) - AllThingsKC KC - 8/9 15:17:17
          Coaches poll is predicting win totals across college - kmawv8 MU - 8/9 13:58:23
               coaches ranked missouri and its opponents along with others - tmcats KSU - 8/9 14:07:09
                    Also, coaches poll ranks 25 teams. - kmawv8 MU - 8/9 15:27:08
                    So a better ranked team is always predicted - kmawv8 MU - 8/9 15:24:52
                         five is not the number, then what is it?(nm) - tmcats KSU - 8/9 16:51:20
                              The coaches poll isn't designed to predict win totals. - kmawv8 MU - 8/10 08:14:22
                              0 - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 19:19:04
                    So the coaches poll does not say 5(nm) - Iron DUKE - 8/9 14:55:14
                    lolz (nm) - SatoriTiger JC - 8/9 14:39:28
                    I don't think he needed clarity on what the Coaches Poll is - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 14:20:33
                         well, it's an objective measure which is more ... - tmcats KSU - 8/9 16:50:13
                              False. The OP source of 6.5 wins is more objective - kmawv8 MU - 8/10 08:15:31
                              yes, because college coaches are so dialed in to other teams - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 18:54:01
                              Is it? In what universe do you think coaches are objective? - hangman MU - 8/9 17:37:50
                                   i would say they're more objective than t'board posters, no? - tmcats KSU - 8/9 17:42:22
                                        objective? sure. More informed? Doubtful - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 18:56:30
                                        keep telling yourself that(nm) - hangman MU - 8/9 17:53:24
     Over - Genco98 MU - 8/9 12:50:35
     Over - SatoriTiger JC - 8/9 12:46:15
     Cook/Garcia at QB: Under. Horn at QB: Over. - coolbean MU - 8/9 12:43:20
          correct(nm) - TigerFan92 STL - 8/9 13:38:32
          ^^^ Knows what's what ^^^ (nm) - lqf2b8 KC - 8/9 12:46:18
               I don't think Horn is mentally mature on the field yet to - KCT-BoneTiger A - 8/9 12:52:57
                    Does he need to make a Mt Rushmore list to be a grownup? (nm) - Faurotious MU - 8/9 14:30:58
                    What exactly made you come to this conclusion? (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 8/9 13:56:05
                    you should have stopped after the first three words (nm) - lqf2b8 KC - 8/9 13:03:38
                         haha(nm) - TigerA MU - 8/9 13:19:57
     Last year we were just a couple of knuckleheaded plays - samclemens MU - 8/9 12:14:54
          Besides Auburn what were the other plays....nm - tigertix MU - 8/9 13:50:43
               are you serious? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 14:44:00
               UGA mental mistakes, UK wow what a call, and UF, that would - MU-TULSA MU - 8/9 14:08:37
          And conversely, could've lost some games won too. Your - Diamond Dave MU - 8/9 12:19:00
     Good number, tough one. I've got 4 as locks... so - North co-co champs MU - 8/9 11:49:39
     if it aint over, Drink is gone.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 8/9 11:34:04
          If drink signs 2 5 star players from in state this year no - sjbe4d MU - 8/9 11:48:59
               it doesn't matter who he signs if they ride the pine. - tigerdb MU - 8/9 12:26:10
                    Yep. If he wins 6 games this year, he is gone. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/9 12:41:08
               you dont hire/fire coaches based on kids.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 8/9 12:24:21
               Lol. He signs those 2 and goes 3-9, he's safe? The program - Diamond Dave MU - 8/9 11:55:41
     OVER - tigerfaninstl MU - 8/9 11:28:07
     That would mean Drink goes over .500 for the first time - zoomer 99 - 8/9 11:16:03
          so, you're gonna keep telling this lie? (nm) - zounami MU - 8/9 15:39:44
          wrong. Drink was 6-4 in 2020, or maybe 5-4 - TigerJackSwartz MU - 8/9 11:51:20
               correct, and that was against a brutal all-SEC schedule (nm) - zounami MU - 8/9 15:38:30
               Correct. That vacated game does not count as a W for us.(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/9 12:53:57
          At some point he has to, but is 7-5 really a good season - Diamond Dave MU - 8/9 11:17:17
     Under - XRob MU - 8/9 10:59:56
          apologies - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 13:48:00
          it's possible, but highly unlikely - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 11:03:45
               Florida isn't in that 5 game stretch - XRob MU - 8/9 13:29:27
                    We're not "helpless" against Kentucky. We've been screwed - hangman MU - 8/9 17:43:10
                    RE: Florida isn't in that 5 game stretch - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 13:48:28
               Drink definitely has Beamer's number so far - Eggs MU - 8/9 11:07:59
                    Drink "should be" 2-1 vs. UK(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 8/9 12:50:53

          yep. hopefully cook can be that but we don't know yet(nm) - TigerA MU - 8/9 11:08:45
               We will likely be at a QB disadvantage on paper - Eggs MU - 8/9 11:11:21
     7 should result in termination, but I'll take 7+ either way(nm) - Diamond Dave MU - 8/9 10:57:03
          Termination? - TigerDeep MU - 8/9 11:13:49
               7-5 puts him at .500. Don't care what the SOS is - Diamond Dave MU - 8/9 11:19:02

                                                       8 wins and he should be retained - Diamond Dave MU - 8/9 12:25:12
