Apogee Named Top Home Field Advantage - Side Show Joe - 07-09-2015 08:14 PM Home Field Advantage (06/24/15) Which teams have the best home field advantage in college football? If you are a college football fan, then you probably have thought of a list of the loudest and toughest stadiums to play in on Saturdays in the fall. However, the true home field advantage for each program may surprise even the most diehard fans. Home field advantage in college football is typically presumed to mean about three points for the hosting team. This means that if two teams are identical, neither team should be favored on a neutral field, while the home team would be favored by about three if they played at one of the team's stadium. This can lead to essentially a six point swing from one venue to the next. The truth is that some stadiums could actually mean up to six points, while some do not help much at all (the expected difference in the margin of victory between Arkansas and Wisconsin from one stadium to the next, for instance, could be around 12 points, while the location does not really matter when Central Michigan plays Bowling Green). http://www.predictionmachine.com/Home-Field-Advantage-College-Football-2015#.VZKSPiW0wdY.twitter
