With a win vs. Tulane and revised higher odd (new ESPN Power Ranking odds) for remaining games:
Pr(Win vs Cincy) = 75%
Pr(Win vs Tulsa) = 51%
Pr(Win vs USF) = 23%​
UCF's new probabilities (from summing the 8 possible combinations) are:
Pr(0 wins) = 9%
Pr(1 win) = 41% (three ways to achieve)
Pr(2 wins) = 41% (three ways to achieve)
Pr(3 wins) = 9%​
The two obviously most likely specific outcomes:
Pr(WLL) = 28%
Pr(WWL) = 29%​

Why is the probability so high for USF? They look like a better team then Cincy.
