These dashboards present the college football watchability index, which highlights the most- and least-watchable games of the week. The absolute value of the point spread is on the horizontal axis and this represents a measure of uncertainty of outcome. Lower point spreads, in absolute value terms, are expected to be closer games. The total (over/under) is plotted on the vertical axis, with higher totals representing games that are expected to be higher scoring. The shape of the point representing each game represents day and start time. The color of the point is differentiated by the use of Sagarin Ratings for each team and sums them for the two teams playing in the game. Gold represents a combined high sum (could be 2 good teams or a dominant team in the game) and Red represents a combined low sum (not among the better teams playing in the game).
A couple of great games for Christmas and Boxing Day for college football fans. Marshall-Buffalo on Christmas at 2:30 and Liberty-Coastal Carolina on Saturday evening should be highly entertaining and great football games. Greatly looking forward to these two contests. Western Kentucky-Georgia St. should be a tight game, while ULL-UTSA is much better than not having football. Enjoy the games and Merry Christmas!
