TCU-Houston

It’s Houston as the mathematically superior team on the offensive side of the ball, but TCU on defense. Houston gets 3.7 more first downs per game, 124.8 more yards, 1.4 more yards per play. This is on 1.3 more rushing yards per attempt, 1.8 more passing yards per attempt and 1.2 more passing yards per reception. The Cougars also complete 9.5 more percent of the passes.

The only exception to Houston winning every offensive and TCU every defensive matchup is Houston allowing 2.6 less percent pass completions on defense. Other than that, the Horned Frogs are allowing 46.6 fewer total yards per game, on 1.1 less yards per play. The biggest edge is in yards per catch allowed at 3.6.

Maryland-Oregon State

East Carolina-Boise State

Boise is much better on both sides of the ball. They get 4.9 more first downs per game on 98.6 total yards per game and .7 more yards per play. East Carolina holds their own in ball control though as the teams are dead even in rushing yards per attempt. Boise gets 1.5 more passing yards per attempt but their passing yards per reception is actually less than many may think, getting a minimal .5 more than the Pirates.

The Broncos actually have slightly better margins of advantage on the defensive side of the ball. The Boise boys allow 5.7 fewer first downs per game, 107.7 fewer yards on .8 less yards per play allowed. The superiority is pretty consistent though as they allow .4 less rushing yards per attempt and 1.1 less passing yards per attempt. However, ECU allows .2 fewer passing yards per reception. Boise has a commanding advantage in pass completion percentage allowing 10.2 less. Before you conclude the stats say Boise should be an even bigger chalk, note ECU protects the ball much better with a turnover ratio 10 better than BSU.

Central Michigan-Purdue

Offensively, this is one of the more evenly matched statistical battles. Purdue gets just .4 more first downs per game but CMU gets 27.4 more yards per game on .4 more yards per play. The Boilermakers get 22.2 more yards per game in the air. The biggest edge is on rushing yards per attempt where the Chippewas get .9 more. While Central accumulates .2 more passing yards per attempt, it’s Purdue earning .3 more passing yards per reception.

Purdue’s defensive superiority is across the board, but not by dominating margins. They allow 3.4 fewer first downs per game on 64.7 fewer total yards. They also allow .8 less yards per play. The biggest upper hand is with pass defense, allowing 1.7 less passing yards per attempt and 1.3 less passing yards per reception and a passing percentage against of 7.9 better than CMU allows. In turnovers and rushing yards per attempt the teams are nearly even.

Texas-Arizona State

Texas is slightly better overall offensively, but Arizona State is better in the air. The Longhorns amass 52 more yards per game on .8 more yards per play. Texas has the smash mouth upper hand by a significant 1.5 more yards per rush. However it’s ASU that accrues .4 more passing yards per attempt and .7 more passing yards per reception.

Contrary to the stereotype of the Pac-10, the Sun Devils allow 3.3 fewer first downs per game, 35.9 fewer yards and .2 less yards per play. Texas though allows 7.8 fewer yards per rush. The Longhorns get the edge in rushing yards per attempt allowed by .6, but ASU allows 1.0 passing yards per attempt but Texas .4 less passing yards per reception allowed.

Navy-Utah

The big underdogs Midshipmen have the numbers on the offensive side of the ball. They get 4.8 more first downs per game, 81.8 total yards and 1.1 more yards per play. However while Navy gets 187.8 more rushing yards per game, Utah passes for 106.1 more.

Navy gets 1.7 more rushing yards per attempt and 2.8 more passing yards per attempt. Surprising to many, the Naval Academy also gets 6.1 more passing yards per reception.

The Utes come back and have the edge in most defensive stats. They allow 6.2 fewer first downs per game, 118.4 fewer yards on 1.6 less yards per play. They allow 3.1 less passing yards per attempt and they have a monster advantage in passing percentage allowing 18.7 less. The Utes have the upper hand in turnover ratio by 11.

Florida Atlantic-Memphis

Memphis has slight edges on the offensive side of the ball, but by only 34.3 yards per game and .2 yards per play. However, showing how close they are mathematically on offense, FAU gets .5 more passing yards per reception.

Likewise Florida Atlantic gets the nod defensively, but not by much. They allow 22.4 less total yards per game and .6 less yards per play. The biggest edge by either team is on turnover ratio where Florida Atlantic has a superiority of 13.

Southern Miss-Cincinnati

The Bearcats have the numbers on offense getting 64.2 more yards on .7 more yards per play. However, the Eagles get 18.4 more rushing yards per game. Cincy gets 1.9 more passing yards per reception.

Defensively it’s very close. They are 1.4 yards per game allowed apart with Southern Mississippi getting the nominal win. But the Bearcats actually give up .3 fewer yards per play. While Cincinnati is better against the run by 42.8 yards per game and a full yard per carry, Southern Miss is superior by 44.2 passing yards per game, though it’s Cincy allowing .1 less passing yards per attempt and .6 less per catch. As is the case with many statistically evenly matched squads, where the big advantage lies is in the turnover margin category. Give that to Cincinnati by a significant margin of 21.

Nevada Reno-New Mexico

Nevada has a substantial lead in every significant offensive category except completion percentage in which New Mexico gets the edge by 4.8. Nevada gets 130.8 more total yards per game, 1.6 more yards per play. The edge is across the board 1.5 rushing yards per attempt, 2.2 passing yards per attempt and a very efficient 5.2 more passing yards per reception. Nevada also gets 6.2 more first downs per game.

New Mexico has the better statistical defense, but by slightly smaller margins. They allow 72.3 fewer total yards on 1.0 less yards per play. Talk about consistent, New Mexico allows 1.0 less rushing yards per attempt and 1.0 less passing yards per attempt.

UCLA-BYU

The Cougars are a cut above on each side of the ball, especially on offense. BYU gets 125 more total yards per game, led by 8.0 more first downs and 1.1 more yards per play. They also get 1.6 more passing yards per attempt and complete a commanding 11.3 more percent of their pass attempts.

The teams are dead even defensively on the ever important yards per play category, though BYU allows 39.5 less total yards per game. All in all, the teams are extremely close in the major handicapping defensive comparisons.

The NCAA has long taken a harsh anti-gambling stance. They have a well-orchestrated “Don’t Bet on It” campaign including a website (DontBetOnIt.org).

Yet, the phony organization has a $100 million gamble and has fixed the outcome to ensure they will not lose the money they anted. The NCAA, in conjunction with their mega-million dollar betting syndicate of six BCS conferences, college presidents and the television networks, created the BCS 11 years ago. Topping the list of goals of the sweepstakes is to come up with a true national championship game.

The quandary is, ala ice skating, that the participants are determined by a very subjective equation that consists of judges in two polls and the computer average of six ranking systems. The compilation results in a point system that ranks each team, with the top two meeting to determine a champion.

However, the many imperfections of the method allows for the possibility that the NCAA could lose their bet. The winner of that alleged championship game may not wind up with the most BCS points when the point system was applied after the bowl games.

The new calculations could produce a top ranked team that did not even participate in the BCS Championship game. We saw an example of that when LSU earned a spot in this year’s game, leapfrogging a Virginia Tech team that won and a Georgia squad that did not play because they already finished their season.

There are endless scenarios in which the victor of Ohio State-LSU could also be leapfrogged. For example, LSU supporters point out that both of the Tigers losses were in overtime, hence their setbacks should be weighted less.

Okay, so what if the BCS Championship game also goes into overtime, should that victory be weighted less, allowing impressive bowl wins by Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Georgia, USC or Kansas to bypass them?

What if Hawaii stuns Georgia in impressive fashion? All of a sudden that sheds new light on their record and validates them as the only undefeated team in the country.

Well aware of the nightmare scenario, the NCAA has fixed the outcome. Coaches have as much right to vote their conscience as constituents do in Cuban elections. Regardless of who a coach believes should be No. 1 following the postseason results, they are mandated to declare the winner of the BCS’ gamble as champion. Is this not blatant shaving of the BCS’s own point system?

In fact, the Bowl Championship Series Rankings are not even recalculated following the bowls. A true final poll could reveal the BCS lost their wager. No problem, the NCAA comes up with a point system then manipulates the ultimate outcome to guarantee there will be no undesired results. If a player does that, it’s called point shaving. When the NCAA does the same thing, they call it the Bowl Championship Series.

College athletes, visit the DontBetOnIt.org site. Remember, when the NCAA informs you about all the evils of gambling and point shaving, do as they say, not as they do.
