NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM
The NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM offered here is from Section 6 of The 2006 NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM e-CYCLOPEDIA which investigates teams in the role of favorite, and is one many POWER SYSTEMS in this week's NCAA Football POWERePORT and POWERePLAY.
PS6-1 (4½ STAR) – In Games 2-8, play AGAINST a non-conference favorite off a road SU loss of 22+ points vs. an opponent off a SU win of 22+ points. (11-0 ATS, 11.2 ppg)
Favorites have continued their poor play off an embarrassing 3+ TD loss on the road when facing an opponent off a 3+ TD home win. Qualifying teams have gone 0-11 ATS, failing to cover the spread by more than 11 points a game on average. Actually, since our database only goes back to 1980, it may be even better than that, as this situation has been perfect since at least 1980. Also of note, despite being favored in all 11 games, teams in this role have lost 7 of the 11 games outright, including ALL single-digit favorites.
Last week, Virginia lost 38-13 at Pittsburgh, while Wyoming enjoyed an easy 38-7 home victory over Utah State. This week, the Cavaliers are favored against the Cowboys, making Virginia the Play AGAINST team for this PRO INFO SPORTS NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM.
