Home Field Advantage: College Football's Greatest Myth

College football's greatest myth

Interesting read to kick off the season. Only analyzes the P5 but notes that 50.8% of the time the home team wins in P5 match ups. Pretty interesting stats too about new P5 conference members faring better on the road than at home in their new leagues. Definitely worth the read

"Who's losing more often at home? According to research, it's primarily the bad teams. Who's winning more road games? The top tier, but especially elite teams like Alabama, Ohio State and Oklahoma."

More evidence of the consolidation of power and talent in college football.
