College football’s weekly board begins Wednesday with Western Kentucky -1.5 at Sam Houston at Wed Oct 14, 8:00 PM ET and Kennesaw State -3 at Missouri State at Wed Oct 14, 7:30 PM ET. The central Saturday matchup is Ohio State at Indiana, where Ohio State is -3.5 for Sat Oct 17, 12:00 PM ET. North Carolina at Duke sits directly on the key number, with Duke -3, while UNLV -1.5 at Air Force and Appalachian State -1.5 at Coastal Carolina are among the tightest listed games.

The largest line reset is Nebraska at Oregon: it moved from Oregon -21.5 to Oregon -7.5 — 14 points toward Nebraska. Kansas at Kansas State also moved from Kansas State -9.5 to Kansas State -4.5 — 5 points toward Kansas. Conditions are worth monitoring, particularly Colorado State at Texas State, forecast with 27.4 mph wind and a 35% rain chance. But weather is context, not a conclusion: our backtests found wind, rain and altitude on totals all failed.

We publish no college football picks. Across 1,589 games, SP+ versus the closing spread went 49.8% against the spread, below the 52.4% break-even mark. Public injury reporting remains sparse; no reported injuries does not mean teams are healthy.

  • “Blowouts go under — the clock runs out”

    They go over 54.5% of the time, and it strengthens the more lopsided the game gets.

  • “A good power rating beats the spread”

    Backing the rating against the number goes 50.3%. SP+ managed 49.8%.

Measured on our own archive of FBS games with a closing line and a final score — sample size and a confidence range on every number. We publish no college picks, and what we tested and killed is published too.
