These have done really well this year with running dogs going 6-2 this bowl season with teams that flipped from dogs to faves going an additional 4-0 for 10-2 overall.
Kansas State falls under the category of dogs that flipped to favorites
I’m teasing K State down to -1 with SF 49’ers +10.5
yuck, sorry about the formatting there.
to summarize, its a running dog system. the formula is: (off ypc - opponents def ypc) - (opponents ypc - def ypc). Team has to be getting points and have a positive differential
I got my data from teamrankings dot com
I sorted by largest differential- i believe futher back in the thread they said >2 had a pretty good record.

Is that the total team list NC? And just to clarify the team has to have a better rushing offense and rushing D and getting points correct?hmm I have a different list. I have:
Ohio (crossed 0), Miami-OH, Cal, ODU (crossed 0), NIU, GAST (crossed 0), BG, Tulane, UK, Toledo (crossed 0).
would be glad to check any numbers..
2-1 correct? Nice dayhmm I have a different list. I have:
Ohio (crossed 0), Miami-OH, Cal, ODU (crossed 0), NIU, GAST (crossed 0), BG, Tulane, UK, Toledo (crossed 0).
would be glad to check any numbers..
how are our lists so wildly different?
You are supposed to look at what a team averages and compare it to what the teams they have already played average.
Using Oregon, they average 5.5 YPC. Their opponents allow 4.26. Net of 1.24. They allow 3.3. Their opponents rush for 3.84. Net of 0.54. Total RD number = 1.77.
Same exercise for Liberty gets you 1.57. Which is why Liberty is not a RD.
