Standard is 3 per home field. Bama and lsu get 3 or so. Boise would get up to 7+ for that shitty turf the last decade which was the most of any team. Doubt if that's still the number.
So what you're trying to tell me is that if this game was played in T-town that bama would only be a 6 point favorite? I guess you have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell me too huh?
"One goal of mine since establishing this blog was to quantify home field advantage.Early on, I found consistently that home field advantage across the country in college football was worth about 3 to 3.5 points.But how does that vary by team?" this comes from the same article he was trying to quote.....somehow this guy comes up with some crazy number that their home field advantage is by computing all the stats for both teams.....this is one of those situations where stats can be very misleading.
he cant tell you......after reading that crazy article neither can I. Only thing I can tell you is that his comuptations come up with bama scoring 30 and lsu scoring 15......how that equals to home field advantage....I couldn't tell you. That's a 15 point difference yet the line opened at 9....his research doesn't hold water.
I was a bit surprised to see Bama such a big favorite. Then again I think the BCSCG and the consistentcy of Bama and inconsistentcy of LSU are a big factor. Their D is dominant while our O is anemic. Everyone knows if LSU plays their best they are capable of beating Bama. It all depends on which LSU shows up.
