I will be posting all systems here this year and tracking them all. every week pops up way too many (20+) to actually play them but i would never blindly play them anyway so to answer a few questions:

1) I am posting these merely to give you a technical approach to your own capping
2) Feel free to throw ideas around of different queries to run, within reason. Happy to run them
3) Keep in mind the NCAAF database is not as robust as NFL, MLB, NBA so I am limited by the stats they load into the dbase. An overview of these parameters is available at http://sportsdatabase.com/ncaafb/query
4) If you see stuff at places like Marc Lawrence, statfox, etc I can usually run them without any problems but never will get their exact ATS or O/U number but usually fairly close. This is for two reasons...1) their systems might include a parameter that isn't available to query at the dbase or 2) they have been known to fudge their numbers a bit to try to get the "perfect" system as a 24-0 ATS headline sells more issues than the 27-6 ATS reality.
5) In my opinion more recent success is more important than what happened in 1995 because of how the rules and game has changed so I constantly work, and rework, systems to make them more modern but to not "back fit" for the sake of making it look good.
6) Any questions during the season, please ask, but just remember I am devoting my time doing this for you, not for me, so don't be a complete fn asshole. I run these every week myself and CHOOSE to provide the info so you have an additional resource in your own capping.
7) I'm not here to list my 3-5 favorite plays...if i decide to do a contest this year those would be my favorite plays but I rarely play more than 1 or 2 games on a Saturday. I'm a soccer capper at heart and that's where I put my real money down. US Sports I play at 1/3 or 1/4 what I play on a soccer match. That being said I love college football and have always been enamored with the technical side of handicapping
8) I taught myself the SDQL language but am not an expert like Joe Meyer or some of the guys that are part of sportsdatabase. That being said if you are trying to become familiar with the querying I'm here to answer your questions but please don't ask the most basic of things like "how do I designate a team as playing at home". sportsdatabase has plenty of materials available for the true beginning coder and I'm not that guy

Looking forward to the season...hopefully folks that stop by this thread each week find something useful. It's simply a different way of looking at things and SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS A RESOURCE to add in with your own capping.

Good Luck in 2015!

and, of course, Roll Tide Roll!!!! and, Let's Go Pitt :)

All systems? Do you know how many systems there are in College Football? Try hundreds.

I'm a systems geek as well, maybe not at RT's level, but think they are a great way to quantify or formalize "situations" that we often use in our capping methodologies. The problem I have sometimes is getting overwhelmed trying to look at too many systems.

Breaking down the 1-star systems:

1-star week 3+ play UNDER elite defense either dog or small favorite after b2b2b allowing <=17 points (best if WP>=o:WP)
A and po:points<=17 and ppo:points<=17 and tA(o:points)<=17 and otA(o:points)>6.8 and line>-3.5
- simple concept. You are playing UNDER when an away underdog or very small fav (FG or less) has a great defense (allowing <=17 ppg) and is coming off b2b games allowing 17 or more points. Totals have only been kept in dbase since 2006 season and this one has been successful in 7 of those 9 years although we are seeing fewer and fewer plays as it's rare to see these elite defenses anymore
A and po:points <= 17 and ppo:points <= 17 and tA(o:points) <= 17 and otA(o:points) > 6.8 and line > -3.5

- again a fairly simple concept. you are playing on a team that just had a great rushing defense game and opponent is allowing >= 4.1 yards per carry and allowed a rushing TD last game. Our team either won last game or lost by a FG or less. This one lost last year after 6 very solid years so something to be aware of but not to get too excited about although certain conferences have been very strong (see below).

2-star game 7+ play on unbeaten conference home favs off TD+ win scoring >30 and not playing another unbeaten team
wins>=7 and losses = 0 and FH and p:points > 30 and game type = RS and o:losses>0 and p:margin>7
- 2nd half of season you are playing ON 7-0 or better conference home favs that just won by >TD while scoring 31+ as long as the opponent has a loss on the season. Obviously these teams are now in the title hunt and tend to play very well at home in a game they're supposed to win:
wins >= 7 and losses = 0 and FH and p:points > 30 and game type = RS and o:losses > 0 and p:margin > 7

2-star PLAY ON high scoring away teams within 3.5 of pk vs non-elite defensive home team
tA(points)>=30.75 and -4 < line < 4 and A and season>2011 and otA(o:points)>14
- another simple concept...if you score a lot of points (season avg >30) and you are playing in a game that is expected to be close (line +/-3.5) you have a very good chance of covering and because the line is so low usually when you cover you win outright so ML for dogs is a nice play as well.
tA(points) >= 30.75 and -4 < line < 4 and A and season > 2011 and otA(o:points) > 14

2-star OPPOSE unbeaten away fav in non-Sat game
game number > 2 and losses = 0 and AF and day != Saturday and line > -34.5
- midweek unbeaten away favs that are at least 2-0 make terrible plays. Look for Clemson to be in this situation week 3 at Lville:

(po:rushing yards+po:passing yards)<186 and (op:rushing yards+op:passing yards)-(opo:rushing yards+opo:passing yards)>221
- just 1 losing season out of the 9 since they tracked totals you are looking at the UNDER when a team is coming off a game where they allowed <186 total yards and their opponent just outgained their previous opponent by a ton

2-star week 10+ UNDER non-conf game with at least one team 9+ wins and at least one went over last game(wins >= 9 or o:wins >= 9) and (p:O or op:O) and conference!= o:conference and (game type = RS or game type = BG)
- nice late season UNDER play when you have a non-conference games (regular season or bowl) and one of the teams has at least 9 wins and is off an over giving the under a bit more line value. Some of those numbers get doubled up when both teams have 9+ wins and both off an over but has been a solid money maker. For the regular season games you are usually looking at big rivalry games like GA/GT, CLEM/USCe
(wins >= 9 or o:wins >= 9) and (p:O or op:O) and conference != o:conference and (game type = RS or game type = BG)

2-star PLAY ON rested home conference dog or tiny fav with revenge
P:L and p:W and HC and rest>11 and line>-4
- one of my favorite plays actually. playing dogs or tiny favs off a win and a bye week and they are looking to get revenge at home in a conference game:
P:L and p:W and HC and rest > 11 and line > -4

2-star PLAY ON big home fav after huge offense and opponent off a loss of <3 TD's
H and line<-15 and p:points>38 and op:L and op:margin>-24
- lots of plays in this one as you are simply playing on a big home fav that scored 39+ last game and opponent off a confidence-killing defeat of 25+ points. These teams have scored an avg of 43 ppg and have been especially strong in 10-pt teasers (>82%)

You will be very busy. What you will find out is that team "A" fits one system and their opponent, team "B" fits another. The result is a wash. Recency is very important, but so is history. UDub is 0-10-1 ATS vs Oregon and 0-8 ATS vs Arizona State. That is two solid wins every season. If you wager on 100 games, that is a 2% increase in your winnings, which often decided the difference between a winning and losing season. Those records are much stronger than any system you can come up with. If you think that players and coaches arfe not aware of records like that, I strongly suggest that you re-think your position.

- play ON a road conference team that just had a 200+ rushing yard game 2 weeks ago when the home team cannot run the ball themselves (b2b <100 rushing yards) and cannot stop the run (season avg >114 rushing yards allowed per game). Just 1 losing season in 9 years

4-star week 10 OVER away team with 4-5 record vs opponent still bowl eligible
A and losses = 5 and wins = 4 and o:losses < 7
- decent OVER system in 10th game. you have a road team that is 4-5 and does not want to drop to 4-6 if they want to make a bowl...and opponent has no more than 6 losses themselves (aka: still bowl eligible). notice that the non power-5 conferences are really strong for OVERs in this situation (24-3 o/u)

rolltide, great stuff...... do you come up with these ideas yourself or are you partially testing marc lawrence type stuff? sorry, you may have addressed this in first post. i remember you mentioned Marc.

a couple of things,

teams that finished very strongly or weakly last year vs. rest of season? or, very similar, teams that moved up/down most last year? versus the next season of course.

one little trick i've learned with sportsdatabase and killersports is to use the query table for nba or nfl to come up with the syntax and then cut/paste to ncaa football that doesn't have a query table (that i know of).

Tide you see the article on Narduzzi in the Post? Nice article.. i think he will be @ Pitt for a long time. The guy quoted in the article, Thomas who coached @ YSU with his father gave me my first HS coaching job. Good person, which led me to believe he was a clone of Narduzzi.. Pitt has landed a good coach and maybe even a better man, the future is bright for them.

hmm, i'm not following you on the "query table" thing...can you elaborate?

i get ideas from all over the place. the "running dogs" discussion here years ago got me going on seeing if there were interesting correlations for running teams vs non-running teams which has created 2 or 3 new systems. I definitely look to mti, lawrence, steele, statfox for ideas as well. typically i will take mti, lawrence, and statfox as a starting point then peel their trends back. they prefer to post 13-0 ATS trends/systems but if it's a valid idea i much rather peel it back to see 75-20 ATS

either this week or next week i will be posting some specifically for week 1 that have to do with teams that ended last year very well or very poorly. I posted them last year as well but will repost in the next week

did not see it. really love narduzzi and, you're right, he's a cool guy...every engaging...and a level of coach not seen in pittsburgh since sherrill. unfortunately i don't think he will be here a long time but if they can get 4 or 5 years before he heads to a premier program that would be a nice situation. I also think the staff he assembled is excellent starting with DC Conklin.

- when a team needed OT to win a conference game as a fav and facing another conference team looking for at least double revenge the results are very ugly. Notice that they only win barely 50% of the time despite being, on average, nearly 10 point favorite

If you're a home dog in the big 12 coming off a win and playing an opponent that has only won <2/3 of their game they are a good play-on team.

Thanks for posting these RT as I have not played around much with the yardage variables. I was thinking about the "running dogs" angle looking at the total rushing yards per game last year for every team. Looks like the average rushing yards per team based on all 128 teams was 176 yards per game with a standard deviation of about 58 yards. So if we try to find dogs who rush for a full standard deviation (58x2=116) more than their opponent we get since 2010:

D and tA(rushing yards) - oA(rushing yards) >=116 and 10<=line<22 and season>=2010

ATS: 28-17-1 (1.08, 62.2%)


Not bad, had a stellar year last season but lost in 2013. I wanted to use double digit dogs, but did not want dogs of more than 22 points. I think it may speak to the fact that these double digit favorites can't put teams away without a decent running game?

It does seem a little too simplistic though taking just the total rushing yards as you are likely to wind up on mostly the triple option teams and service academies. I wonder if there would be a way to use the yards per rushing attempt relative to what a team's opponents have allowed? So let's say a team has rushed for 3.5 YPC so far this season against defenses that only allow 3.1 YPC. I think the yards per attempt stats would be more useful than the total yardage stats and if we could get relative yards per attempt that would be even better.

RT, Check my SDQL logic here if you would please. What I want to query for is teams that average more than 5 YPC rushing on offense versus teams that give up more that 5 YPC on defense. This is what I cam came up with:

tS(rushing yards) / tS(rushes) > 5.00 and oS(o:rushing yards) / oS(o:rushes) > 5.00 and season>=2009
ATS:195-149-6 (2.77, 56.7%)


If my query is correct, seems like it produces fairly consistent results home or away, fave or dog. Not a stellar win %, but fairly decent sample size, looks like the Dog is the best role but it wins as Fave as well

D and tS(rushing yards) / tS(rushes) > 5.00 and oS(o:rushing yards) / oS(o:rushes) > 5.00 and season>=2009

ATS: 30-16-1 (4.07, 65.2%)

The week 1 stuff....


1) DD favs with new head coaches are typically terrible week one plays. This year Illinois -15, Buffalo -14, Colorado St -49, Houston -37, Oregon St -28, and Pitt -13 would be teams to avoid or play against


2) playing against teams with a new head coach that won <=4 games last year are typically awful in week 1, <35% ATS. This year Kansas -5.5, SMU +35.5, Troy +26, Tulsa -7, and UNLV would be play against teams. Kansas also fits #3 if line stays under -7


3) Right now both New Hampshire and South Dakota State would be "play on" teams against the 5-star system to play against small 1A favs, 6.5 or less, playing a 1AA team. Very possible that both will become >=7 point favs which would drop them as a fit but keep an eye on New Hampshire line tonight but most bookies already moved it to -7 making it no play. division = 1A and o:division = 1AA and -7<line<2 and season>2009 and week<14


4) Teams off a dreadful season failing to cover 10 or more games are 18-7-1 when facing another D1A opponent. The only game that fits this year is Florida St -29


5) teams favored by 10.5-21 points in week 1 who won 80%+ of their games last year and won at least 4 of final 5 games have covered >75% in first month of the season. Week 1 fits are playing on Alabama -12, Ohio State -13.5, Michigan St -17, Boise St -13, and TCU -15


6) oppose small away favs of 3.5-10 points that won final 3+ games last season. This year would be opposing Old Dominion -4.5


7) play on 1H line with elite team from last year (80%+) that won at least final 5 games of the season in first 4 weeks of new season when playing a home game. This year's fits would be:
week 1- Boise St 1H -7 vs Wash
week 2- Ohio St 1H vs Hawaii, TCU 1H vs SFan
week 3- Boise St 1H vs Idaho St, TCU 1H vs SMU, Ohio St 1H vs NoIll
week 4- Ohio St 1H vs W Mich


8) ML first two weeks of season play on road team that won 3+ games last year to end the season, had a winning record, and playing a team that was <.500 last year. Play On - A road team vs. the money line (UTAH ST) first 2 weeks of the year, after closing out last season strong with 3 or more straight wins, team that had a winning record last season playing a team that had a losing season
week 1- Western Kentucky ML -125 at Vandy, Ohio St ML -500 at Va Tech
week 2- Memphis ML at Kansas


9) Oppose week 1 non conference big home favs that won prevous h2h meeting and have a conference game on deck. 29-51 ATS, game number = 1 and not C and HF and P:W and n:C and line <= -8
- play on UL-Monroe +36


10) Rare one but pretty simple...play on dogs <=10 in first 3 games of season if they have >=6 returning starters more than opponent. cannot find any in week 1 but Temple +7 was very close as they are listed with 5 more starters returning than state penn.


11) from Mark Lawrence ... teams playing conference game in first 4 weeks of season that improved by 100+ yards defensively from previous season and playing a bowl team are 27-5-1 ATS. No play this week but temple vs cincy (9/12) and san jose vs fresno (9/26) qualify this year

RT, Check my SDQL logic here if you would please. What I want to query for is teams that average more than 5 YPC rushing on offense versus teams that give up more that 5 YPC on defense. This is what I cam came up with

looks good

easy way to improve #'s is to make it a regular season game and keep both teams on fairly normal rest:

tA(rushing yards) / tA(rushes) > 5.00 and oA(o:rushing yards) / oA(o:rushes) > 5.00 and season > 2008 and game type = RS and o:rest < 15 and rest < 11
SU:247-40-0 (19.88, 86.1%)Teaser Records
ATS:168-112-6 (3.76, 60.0%) avg line: -16.1+6: 217-65-4 (77.0%)-6: 113-166-7 (40.5%)+10: 240-43-3 (84.8%)-10: 85-197-4 (30.1%)
