I don’t think these are correct. Teams have to be a dog!

Thank you for doing the leg work. Good luck this bowl season.
I think these should be the plays. This is from the original premise.

Apparently no one knows
How about start with a definition of what it is
Is it most rushing yards? Most rushing yards per carry?. Or does it involve rushing offense and rushing defense
Before we can see who the teams are we have to agree on the definition of running dogs and apparently we have not agreed on what it is.
Does anyone know?

Well, 2 dogs today, 159 running yards MTSU +10.5 and N Illinois + 11 335 yards covered, easily.

Though neither, IMO, was predictable... especially the 335 WTF?

I always thought it was dogs with a better rush offense & defense than their opponent? I don't know if it's supposed to be based on yards per game, or yards per attempt, but stats.ncaa.org is a good site to use.

This from NoCoke from a couple of years ago.

Should be (off ypc - opponents d ypc) + (opponents ypc - def ypc), adjusted for FCS games. If the dog has a higher # than the favorite, it’s a running dog.

This is where I came up with the list. I looked up every bowl teams rushing offense and rushing defense rankings and then highlighted the teams that had both "better ranked" qualifiers in the matchup. And then eliminated the favorites in the follow-up list

Are those ypc for and against?
Not sure where you got those numbers but they are far off from what I saw
Maybe I am missing something
Maybe you are right
If you can explain I would like to see
But this is what I have seen


OFFENSIVE STATISTICS DEFENSIVE STATISTICS
2021 Season PPG FD RUSHING PASSING YPPT PPG FD RUSHING PASSING YPPT TOD PDIF
