South Florida carries a 0.0-point HFA edge at Camping World Stadium (60,219 capacity) against Old Dominion.

Biggest Power-Rating Gaps This Week

Games ranked by the difference between Blue Chip model ratings and the market spread. Larger gaps are the strongest signals.

Model gap: 17.6 pts · Line: Ole Miss -16.5 · Home power: 23.6 · Away: 6.0
The model shows Ole Miss by 17.6 model points; market line is Ole Miss -16.5. Gap between model edge and spread is a directional signal.
Model gap: 16.8 pts · Line: Oregon -20.5 · Home power: 28.2 · Away: 11.4
The model shows Oregon by 16.8 model points; market line is Oregon -20.5. Gap between model edge and spread is a directional signal.
Model gap: 16.1 pts · Line: UTSA -7.0 · Home power: 1.9 · Away: -14.2
The model shows UTSA by 16.1 model points; market line is UTSA -7.0. Gap between model edge and spread is a directional signal.

Biggest Model vs. Market Divergences This Week

Games where Blue Chip's power-rating implied win probability diverges most from the Kalshi prediction market. A large gap suggests the market may be mispricing the matchup: directional signal only, not a betting recommendation.

#1 LSU @ Houston
Model: 26% home · Market: 52% home · Gap: 26pp · Line: Houston -1.5
Model gives Houston a 26% win probability; Kalshi market has them at 52%. A 26-point gap: model favours LSU relative to the market. Directional signal only.
Model: 95% home · Market: 69% home · Gap: 26pp · Line: UTSA -7.0
Model gives UTSA a 95% win probability; Kalshi market has them at 69%. A 26-point gap: model favours UTSA relative to the market. Directional signal only.
Model: 28% home · Market: 52% home · Gap: 25pp · Line: Oklahoma -1.5
Model gives Oklahoma a 28% win probability; Kalshi market has them at 52%. A 25-point gap: model favours Alabama relative to the market. Directional signal only.

How We Ranked Postseason's Games

Each ranked section draws from the same enriched data file that powers our per-game pages. Travel distances are calculated as straight-line (great-circle) distances from each team's home market to the game stadium, converted from kilometres to miles. Body-clock offset is the signed time-zone difference the away team crosses. Rest-day differential is the difference in days since each team last played. Weather scoring compounds wind, temperature, and precipitation against fixed thresholds, dome stadiums are excluded as weather is irrelevant indoors, see our Weather tool for the full methodology.

HFA ratings come from our Home Field Advantage tool, which estimates the per-venue point value based on historical margin-of-victory data. Stadiums above 4,000 ft are flagged; altitude creates a documented visiting-team disadvantage. Power ratings are from the Blue Chip power-rating model. The gap between the model's implied spread and the market line is a directional signal; it is not a betting recommendation.

The model vs. market divergence section compares Blue Chip's power-rating implied win probability (derived via a logistic approximation from the rating gap) against the Kalshi prediction market probability. ATS records are sourced from the season log updated weekly by the enrichment pipeline; minimum 3 games required before a team is flagged.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many games are in college football Postseason 2025?

Postseason of the 2025 FBS season features 46 games tracked by Blue Chip Analytics. The full schedule, lines, and totals are listed in the game table on this page.

How does Blue Chip Analytics rank travel disadvantages?

Away teams are ranked by the straight-line distance from their home market to the game stadium, converted to miles. Body-clock offset (time-zone hours crossed) is listed alongside distance as a compound fatigue indicator.

What weather conditions qualify as high-risk for this week?

Games are flagged when the kickoff-hour forecast meets at least one of: sustained wind ≥ 15 mph, gusts ≥ 25 mph, temperature ≤ 32°F or ≥ 95°F, or a precipitation chance ≥ 60%. Scores compound across all factors: a cold and windy game ranks higher than a mildly breezy one. Weeks with no game past these thresholds show no weather section at all rather than promoting a benign forecast.

What is a Home Field Advantage (HFA) rating?

Blue Chip's HFA rating estimates the point value of playing at home at a specific stadium, based on historical margin-of-victory data. A rating of 3.0 means the home team historically performs about 3 points better at that venue than their road performance would predict.

What does the power-rating gap section show?

The power-rating gap ranks games by the difference between Blue Chip's internal model rating for each team and the published market spread. A large gap between model edge and market line is a directional signal: it does not constitute a betting recommendation.

How is the model vs. market divergence calculated?

Blue Chip's power-rating gap is converted to an implied win probability using a logistic approximation (each rating point ≈ 2.8% shift from 50%). This is compared against the Kalshi prediction market win probability. Games with a divergence of 5 percentage points or more are surfaced. Both the model and market can be wrong: treat this as a directional flag, not a pick.

What qualifies as a notable ATS record?

Teams are flagged when they have played at least 3 games this season and their ATS cover rate is ≥65% (hot) or ≤30% (cold). Records are updated each week by the enrichment pipeline and reflect cumulative season-to-date results only: sample sizes are small early in the season.

Postseason of the 2025 season features 46 FBS games; the ranked sections above surface the travel, weather, HFA, power-gap, model-vs-market, and ATS-record edges most relevant to analysts and informed fans.
