College football games, thankfully, are played on the field and not on the computer. However, with camp not starting until the first week of August, there isn’t a whole lot of on the field football to write about. Metrics are important for both predicting wins and gambling (I don’t do the latter but I attempt the former).
My favorite metrics guru is Bill Connelly, formerly of SB Nation and now of ESPN, does a fabulous job of balancing metrics via his SP+ formula. Bill C’s computers are the only thing that can come close to battling Las Vegas on a weekly basis.
