Good info, but trends can be misleading. In the
Colorado-Colorado State series, the favorite has covered the past 3 games, so the 9-3 stat is misleading. That stat is also wrong. I have Colorado winning and covering as a favorite in 2001, 2007 and 2008, and CSU winning and covering as a favorite in 2006, making this series a 4-4 split in the past 8 years.
Stanford is 1-2 in the past 3 years against Wazzu. In the past 8 games, their record is 4-4.
The last time UCLA played San Diego State was in 2005, so how valuable is that stat?
The final line that people use in their stats is also very important. For example. In my figures, I had Florida State covering against Miami last year as a 1.5 point favorite. They won by 2. But if someone had the final line as -2, then the game was a push.
I use angles and trends in my wagering (the technical end of wagering), but I make sure that the trends are correct, and more importantly, that the trends are usable. It really doesn't help me to know how well UCLA does against San Diego State when they have not played each other for 3 years. On the other hand, I think it is important to add a point or two to Utah's State when they play Utah because the visitor has such a good record of covering.
Good Luck this season.

I got one of those College Football preview guides in the mail from one of my books and they carry "Statfox Handicapping Angles". I have found quite a number of their trends to be completely bogus.
Just a couple examples
* Over the L3 seasons, WYOMING is on a slide of 3-7 SU & 0-9 ATS when coming off a blowout loss (>17 pts).
Right next to that angle they have Wyoming's 2008 Schedule. They lost to 7-54 to TCU on 10/25/08 and then beat and covered (-6) against San Diego State on 11/1/08.
There are others as well. Hard to take any of them seriously.
