1. Well, all games with 7 or more spread, I would take the favorite.
2. In games where the spread is between 3 and 7, I would look at:
- Does either have a "home field" advantage on where the bowl is at? This is a plus
- Who will have more fans at the game. This is a plus.
- Which school has the largest fan base and largest & most prestigious alumni. This is a negative.
- I would weigh those three things against the line and then probably stay with the favorite.
3. In games with less than 3, I would use the same three criteria above, but probably go with the one that I thought regardless of the line.
