Checking in with some bowl information.

Bowl teams that outrush and have greater time of possession than their opponents are a good play (5-2 Last Year). Teams that outrush and TOP this year:

NEW MEXICO
SAN DIEGO STATE
APPALACHIAN STATE
WESTERN KENTUCKY

WYOMING
NAVY
ARMY
TEMPLE
PITTSBURGH
WEST VIRGINIA
UTAH
KANSAS STATE
COLORADO
STANFORD
AIR FORCE
GEORGIA TECH
LOUISVILLE
ALABAMA
OHIO STATE
USC

One other note: bowl dogs that out-rush a .sub 700 opponent are a good play. This includes:
IOWA
AUBURN
TCU
MINNESOTA

--Every team that lost their conference championship game lost both SU and ATS last bowl season. Most of the games were not close. This year

Ohio U
La Tech
Colorado
Florida
Va Tech
Wisconsin

All are play against teams.


--- The line came into play only 5 times last bowl season. With only 1 game having an ATS result this year, the line has been in play only 13 times in the last 121 bowl games (9%)
If you're betting underdogs with the line at (-110 or -108) you are wasting money. If you like the dog, take the money line!

Thanks Ace. I posted #4071 in a Saturday NCAAF thread.

Teams who won Conf Cship Game went 5-0 in Bowls last year.
Above is 2-0 already this year, San Diego St and Wky.

Teams who lost Conf Cship Game were 0-7 ATS in Bowls. The disparity is because 2 CCG Winners played each other last year. Also, you can add Navy and Wyoming to your loser list above.

Scott,

you're correct, I missed Wyoming.

The reason I didn't list Navy is that I think the principle is "play against them in the next game" and Navy had the loss vs. Army. Though it is obviously technically correct to add Navy.

Re Navy: So it's an angle to be manipulated depending upon this year's result.

So far we have:
Play On Conf Cship Winner in next (or Bowl) game, unless 2 Winners play each other (playoffs game #1 last year) = 5-0 last year, and 2-0 this year

Play Against Conf Cship Loser in next game = 7-0 last year, and 1-0 this year. If Navy covers we keep angle at "next game." If Navy fails we keep angle as "Bowl game." :)

Can't follow these systems blindly. How can you lay 10/10.5 with BYU? 3 straight Bowl Losses. And last year were down 0-28 in the 2Q, an utter no-show.

Mich I got a 19-4 Angle on your Mump Piss that goes back a few years. Simple Stat - Lost SU last night / Unrested / Dog tonight = 19-4 ATS. Did not bite due to severe scolding from Boss415 aka Stan Van at his troops, lambasting them for embarrassing him with their recent performances.
