#1 Hawai'i
2,756 miles · -2h body-clock shift · away +8d rest
Hawai'i travels 2,756 miles to face UNLV, arriving with a -2h body-clock shift.
2,013 miles · -3h body-clock shift · home +1d rest
Washington State travels 2,013 miles to face James Madison, arriving with a -3h body-clock shift.
#3 BYU

Tulsa travels 1,237 miles to face Army, arriving with a -1h body-clock shift.

Highest Weather-Risk Games This Week

Games ranked by combined wind, temperature, and precipitation impact. Thresholds: wind ≥ 20 mph, temp ≤ 35°F or ≥ 90°F, precip > 0.1 in.

4°F, 6 mph wind, Freezing fog
Central Michigan @ Kent State: 4°F, 6 mph wind, Freezing fog — conditions historically favour the home team when passing difficulty is elevated.
5°F, 4 mph wind, Freezing fog
Massachusetts @ Ohio: 5°F, 4 mph wind, Freezing fog — conditions historically favour the home team when passing difficulty is elevated.
6°F, 6 mph wind, Freezing fog
Miami (OH) @ Buffalo: 6°F, 6 mph wind, Freezing fog — conditions historically favour the home team when passing difficulty is elevated.

Strongest Home-Field Advantages This Week

Home teams ranked by stadium HFA rating. Higher values reflect stronger historical home performance at that venue. Venues above 4,000 ft are flagged for altitude disadvantage.

HFA 3.3 pts · Bridgeforth Stadium · 24,877 capacity
James Madison carries a 3.3-point HFA edge at Bridgeforth Stadium (24,877 capacity) against Washington State.
#2 SMU
HFA 3.2 pts · Gerald J. Ford Stadium · 32,000 capacity
SMU carries a 3.2-point HFA edge at Gerald J. Ford Stadium (32,000 capacity) against Louisville.
HFA 3.1 pts · Hancock Whitney Stadium · 25,450 capacity
South Alabama carries a 3.1-point HFA edge at Hancock Whitney Stadium (25,450 capacity) against Southern Miss.

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: 61.0 pts · Line: Alabama -14 · Home power: 28.2 · Away: -32.8
The model shows Alabama by 61.0 model points; market line is Alabama -14. Gap between model edge and spread is a directional signal.
Model gap: 54.2 pts · Line: Texas A&M -125 · Home power: 24.6 · Away: -29.6
The model shows Texas A&M by 54.2 model points; market line is Texas A&M -125. Gap between model edge and spread is a directional signal.
Model gap: 43.9 pts · Line: Georgia -44.5 · Home power: 24.2 · Away: -19.7
The model shows Georgia by 43.9 model points; market line is Georgia -44.5. 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.

Model: 99% home · Market: 50% home · Gap: 49pp · Line: Georgia -44.5
Model gives Georgia a 99% win probability; Kalshi market has them at 50%. A 49-point gap — model favours Georgia relative to the market. Directional signal only.
Model: 99% home · Market: 50% home · Gap: 49pp · Line: Alabama -14
Model gives Alabama a 99% win probability; Kalshi market has them at 50%. A 49-point gap — model favours Alabama relative to the market. Directional signal only.
Model: 99% home · Market: 50% home · Gap: 49pp · Line: Clemson -9
Model gives Clemson a 99% win probability; Kalshi market has them at 50%. A 49-point gap — model favours Clemson relative to the market. Directional signal only.

How We Ranked Week 13'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 Week 13 2025?

Week 13 of the 2025 FBS season features 64 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 forecast conditions meet at least one of: wind speed ≥ 20 mph, temperature ≤ 35°F or ≥ 90°F, or precipitation > 0.1 inches. Scores compound across all factors — a cold and windy game ranks higher than a mildly breezy one.

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.

Week 13 of the 2025 season features 64 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.
