Home field advantage

[fullforce11]

Did this week show us how big home field advantage really is early in the season?


WVU at home beat Maryland
A&M beat Clemson
Auburn beat LSU
Tennessee beat Florida
Arizona State beat Iowa
UNC beat Georgia Texh
BC beat UConn
Iowa State beat Northern Illinois
Kentucky beat Indiana
Texas Tech beat TCU
Syracuse beat Cincinatti
Oregon State beat New Mexico
New Mexico State beat Troy
Rice beat Hawaii

The only games were a decent team lost at home this week were:

Wisconsin at Arizona
Ohio State at NCState
UCLA at Washington
Minnesota at Colorado State

all of those teams were favored.

It's interesting data.

Homefield is ALWAYS an advantage in EVERY sport. Early prolly even more because teams aren't playing as a unit as well as they will later. College is really important for homefield because a lot of the players can't handle the pressure like pro's can so some players can break down in elite teams atmosphere's.

Tech didn't beat us because of home field advantage.

Tech beat us because we forgot to come out of the locker room and play a second half.

But you're right, home field advantages are often critical. That's the No. 1 reason why I'm picking Boise to win the WAC and not Fresno (since FSU plays BSU on the blue).

Tech won because they were the Better team.
