Returning production
| Texas | Tennessee | |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 72% | 35% |
| Passing | 85% | 7% |
| Rushing | 126%* | 48% |
| Receiving | 55% | 52% |
* Outside 0โ100% on purpose โ production is PPA-weighted, so a departing player who cost his team yards pushes the share above 100 and a returning group with negative combined output shows below zero.
The read
- The spread has moved from 3.5 to 5.5 since it opened, toward the away side.
- A total of 54.5 sits right around the middle of real college football scores (the median FBS game lands on 54). That places the number; it does not predict the result โ overs land almost exactly 50% against closing totals.
- SP+ and the market differ by 4.3 points โ SP+ rates the home side higher. Worth knowing, but not a signal: we backtested betting that disagreement and it went 49.8% against the spread, versus the 52.4% needed to break even.
