• There's a vague correlation between the percentage of time a team is the favorite and the percentage of time they beat the spread. It's very general, but teams that are favored more than 70% of the time cover 52.8% of the time, 60-70% cover 50.6%, 50-60% cover 49.8%, and on down.
• Texas, USC, and Oklahoma are the only teams to have been favored in 100 games or more, while Duke and Buffalo are the only teams with Nine full seasons to have been favored less than 10 times.
• Only 6 teams have won less that 50% of the games in which they were favored (W. Kentucky, Duke, Idaho, Kent, & Vanderbilt), while conversely only 4 teams have won more than 50% of the games in which they were underdogs (Texas, Utah, USC, and Oklahoma).
• Amazingly, Utah has covered the spread 20 of the 24 times they were the underdog. When Baylor happens to be the favorite, they've covered 80% of the time (followed closely by San Jose State at 78%).
