While checking out the Sporting News SEC magazine I was checking out ALL of Div 1 team schedules. I like to do this to check out situational spots such as look a heads, letdowns, 3 or more road games in a row, and revenge games. Another key thing I look for is teams that have 7 or more straight games before an open date. Tired teams do not play well. Going alphabetically I was astounded to see that Illinois,Indiana, and Iowa ALL played their Complete 12 game schedule Without an open date. I thought I had discovered The Holy Grail of
situational handicapping. I soon realized that I had found Fools Gold as ALL BIG TEN TEAMS played their Complete 12 game schedule without an open date. Purdue plays 13 straight games due to playing @ Hawaii. That has got to be a mistake either by Sporting News or the Big Ten
A couple of situations bear watching. Auburn plays 12 straight and Georgia plays 11 straight without a break. When Georgia travels to Auburn it will be the 11th straight game without a break for each. The key that intrigues me is that this game is Georgia's Third straight road game in a row! If I play the game it will be Auburn or pass. Guys, when I see situations like this I get goosebumps and a stirring in my loins! God, I LOVE College Football! LT arty: :money8: :money:

It isbecause of the added 12th game this year. Ohio St for instance plays a MAC school right in the middle of big ten season which otherwise would have been a bye week.

Coach

Your the best at finding things like that, around here for sure. the linesmaker will take that into consideration on those 3 road games in a row! Probably?

PKJ, Ohio States schedule is full of look a heads, a couple of let downs, 2 really good out of conference games that are great sandwich situations. LT

Insiders, I am the Master of The Inane, meaning I know a lot about nothing! :lolBIG: I am not so sure the odds boys take scheduling into much consideration. 2 years ago while looking at schedules before the season, I noticed that Auburn was playing Georgia after their open date. Auburn was a rested and revenging HOME team that was playing Georgia who was playing their FOURTH straight road game. Auburn opened a 6 point favorite and was eventually bet down to -3 1/2. That was a RBGame for me and Auburn smoked a listless and tired Georgia by, I think 24-6. When you get situations like that, you PUNISH the sports accountants! arty: :money:
