The road team went 26-17 in Big 12 conference games this year. Also, the road team out-scored the home team by 44 points, meaning that there was a +1/game advantage of playing on the road this year.
I don't think home field advantage is what it used to be. The college kids don't care as much about (traditional) sports, and everybody in the stands seems to be genius offensive coordinator.
-
that’s really surprising
-
I think it’s more interesting than surprising TBO ‘clams
-
it’s both and when I read it, I was surprised
and there’s a little something that I like to call freedom of surprisingness so suck it
-
I would say p surprising cause home teams should win more than they lose :th_twocents: :th_twocents:
-
especially surprising when you consider ku hasn't won a road game ever
-
Why are two games unaccounted for? Should be 45 big 12 games.
EDIT: nvm. two neutral site conference games. disregard.
-
Meh. Both Baylor and KU had a 5 home game schedule (1 Baylor game was neutral site).
That's 10 (9*) road wins for the conference and a lot of points outscored.
-
Shooter Jones making a strong case for interesting
-
Even more surprinteresting considering the road loss constant that is KU.
-

Well they also don't win home games, so it balances out.

Ku/Bu played one more home game combined than road games. That can’t account for the difference.
-
When you have 20% of your conference teams winning a combined 1 conference game, it's going to be skewed.

No, it isn’t, because Ku and Bu lost almost the same amount of road games as home games.
-
Let’s focus on if this is surprising of interesting guys

Neither.

I'd be interested to see how this stacks up to other years.

If they win just two home games each, the league is .500 home/away (well, road teams 22-21)
Like I said, MEH.

The numbers suggest that KU and BU had a better chance of winning a road game than a home game.

hey dummies: KU and Baylor accounted for a net two more home losses.
quit trying to make this stat less interesting/surprising.

I can barely make it through live sporting events anymore because of this

If you take KU/BU out of the equation, I believe the road team record is 17-10 (if my quick math is correct).

Home records:
4-0
3-1
2-2
2-2
2-2
2-3
2-3
0-4 - TECH
0-5 - (4*) BAYLOR
0-5 - KU
-
KSU games alone put the road team at +3.

The worst teams in the league had the 5 home game schedule... And the worst 3 were all winless at home in conference play.
I really don't think the stat is that interesting.

I think your failure to appreciate the significance of the numbers is interesting, and a little surprising.
Ignore KU/BU. Road teams went 17-10 in conference. (if you take BU/KU out of the equation, the advantage for the road teams actually goes up slightly!)
-
Road teams were 19-4 against the bottom half (as far as home records go) of the conference.
4 home wins between KU, BU, TTU, KSU, OSU.
I guess that actually is pretty god damn interesting... and embarrassing.
-
OK, I will concede it's interesting.
With UT, OSU, KSU, and TTU probably skewing the stats the most, and KU and BU slightly helping.
The stat of 4 home wins between the 5 of KU/BU/KSU/OSU/Tech is absolutely absurd though.
-
I thought KSU's splits were weird but OSU's are even stranger
-

Tech as well.
-
We were part of the problem, we had a freaking losing home record in the Big 12, yet were 3-1 on the road (I realize TT/KU are in that)
-
I found the stat to be extremely surprising...but not interesting in the least.

Tech doesn't surprise me much because they kind of suck. Maybe us and UT were their closest thing to outliers.
-
Let's not forget the half time brewski crowd. Clear impact on home field advantage. :Ugh:
-

I'd gauge it as moderately surprising and possibly interesting
-
Not interested.
