The three least attended NCAA Football games this week
3. Idaho vs Appalachian State – Hopefully the loyal AMSTS crowd in Moscow, Idaho read the Week 11 games that will/won’t suck and decided to stay home. Given that the Kibbie Dome only holds about 16,000 though, this isn’t nearly as bad as it may seem. I suspect Idaho often ends up on this list. Total attendance:…

So I was out of town last week as the Boilermakers took down the Cornhuskers, not only covering, but WINNING THE GAME. It was impressive. Sure, the Huskers were hurt, but Purdue SCORED FIFTY FIVE POINTS! Nebraska was favored by 7.5, and it was never in doubt that Purdue would cover. Well worth losing…

This is a new feature to AMSTS, but one I’m hoping you’ll like. Every week, I will use the AMSTS Computer Ranking point predictor to predict three games that will suck, and three games that will not suck. Of course, I will filter out games against FCS teams in the “Games that will suck” category,…
