Below please find the StatLogic Sports Week 8 NCAA College Football Power 35 Ratings.
The teams next in line to move into the top 35 also are listed below the top group. With each passing week as more current data is accumulated, the numbers become more accurate and provide a better snapshot of where the betting edges might be for that week's games.
Also was we get deeper into the season, it becomes easier to pick out teams that may be over or undervalued both in the market and our ratings.
Our early college football betting edges and potential parlay options also are posted below the ratings. Michigan and Clemson seem to be overvalued, while Texas A&M, Oklahoma, BYU, Cincinnati, South Carolina and Memphis may be undervalued.
These ratings are the starting point as far as determining our recommended picks each week. Once we determine which games have potential betting edges, those games are run through our proprietary algorithm, which has predicted winners of college football, college basketball, NFL, MLB and NBA games at about a 65-percent success rate for the last two decades. There also is a strict set of rules and requirements than any game the algorithm tags as having a 65-percent or better win probability must satisfy before being released to our clients as a recommended selection.
We provide a lot of free information here to help bettors who crave more action make the best possible decisions with their money, but we only release our top recommended picks to our paying customers. Occasionally, we will release bonus bets that also out to our customers or narrowly miss the cut to be recommended selections here as a thank you for coming to our site.
Our recommended picks must have at least a 65-percent win probability and meet a strict set of requirements before earning that distinction and being sent out to our customers. These are low-volume, investment-oriented selections that have returned an annual ROI equal to or exceeding what other potential investments traditionally yield. They are entirely based on the algorithm and the strict requirements we apply to each game. There is no human bias involved.
This is the approach that we recommend for our clients - a long-term, investment-based mindset that minimizes risk and maximizes their return on investment.
We realize there is a large market of more casual sports bettors who enjoy wagering on multiple games and the excitement of having action on several contests per day or on a weekly basis. While we don't condone or promote that type of betting behavior, we realize that it is a reality and post information here to help those bettors maximize their odds of being successful.
While we had a slightly below .500 week with our college football edges for CFB Week 6, they bounced back and were 13-8 in Week 7 and have won about a 60-percent rate over the past four weeks.
Week 4-7 StatLogic Sports NCAA CFB Betting Edge & Contest Recap
Betting Edges: 54-37-1 (59.3%)
Money Line Parlay Options: 27-11 (71.1%)
CFB Contest Picks: 22-18 (55.0%)
VSIN Contest Picks: 18-10 (64.3%)
Any information supplied as betting or parlay options are considered "bet at your own risk." We track the performance of those suggested edges but DO NOT recommend betting all of those games. There are edges there, but they do not meet our standard to be "recommended" picks for our paying customers. Any picks listed as recommended or bonus selections are bets we advocate making.
