Some items of note from 2013 bowls:
Other notes
- Teams with the schedule advantage finished 21-11 SU and 19-13 ATS in bowl games for 59% ATS. Note that not all games feature a team with a schedule advantage.
- At one point last year 13 bowl-games in a row came in under the total.
- Only 4 total bowl games (including National Championship) where the spread mattered last year. There were 35 games and so the line mattered in 0.1% of the games.
- MAC Teams were awful last year 0-5 SU in bowl games.
Other notes
- Double-digit bowl favorites have a 10-10 ATS record since 2011
- Teams coming off exactly two losses coming into their bowl games are typically poor ATS performers (I have this as 18-30 (37%) ATS)
- This bowl season gives us four teams playing off exactly 2 losses: South Alabama (playing a team off 3 Losses in a row); Penn State; Texas A&M; and Iowa
- Note Notre Dame goes bowling having lost 4 games in a row, the Miami Hurricanes 3 in a row.
