Message: [QUOTE="Fightin Choke, post: 3043669, member: 2605"] In viewing today's action, Plebe noted: That got me thinking about which teams truly capitalize on their home court advantage, and which teams make terrible house guests. Looking at the top 50 teams in Massey, I constructed these two lists of each team's [U]home court advantage[/U]: [B]The Homebodies[/B] 5.71 Mich. St. 4.69 S. Dakota St. 4.29 Iowa St. 4.15 Michigan 4.08 Baylor 4.04 Iowa 4.01 S. Dakota [B]The Road Warriors[/B] 1.28 Clemson 1.72 Kentucky 1.83 Miss St. 2.11 Cuse 2.15 FSU 2.19 Miami Here are the home field advantages by aggregated by conference: 3.64 B12 3.52 B1G 3.48 PAC12 3.22 MAC 3.07 Big East 2.94 American 2.54 SEC 2.38 ACC A few thoughts: [LIST] [*]As a Road Warrior, it's not surprising that Miami was so tough [USER=2325]@Louisville[/USER], but it is surprising that they upset Notre Dame at home. [*]UConn (3.54) is rated as a homebody despite their huge road win @Notre Dame; perhaps due to their 2 losses on the road. [*]Notre Dame (2.74) is a modest Road Warrior, despite 2 of their 3 losses being on the road. [*]Of the top 20 teams in Massey, Mississippi St. is the best Road Warrior and Iowa St. the best at home. [*]The ACC can't hold serve at home very well. [*]The B1G and B12 do not travel well, with the PAC12 similar. [*]Seems like the biggest homebodies are from the Midwest. [/LIST] Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
