Big Ten Conference (West), Home Field Advantage
« on: September 03, 2018, 01:18:46 AM »
I stopped by the Stassen.com website to review whether and to what extent schools have a home field advantage in conference games, only. For lack of time I only reviewed Western Division teams. Hopefully another member can produce the Eastern Division. I did not include results form the Northwestern - Purdue game from 2018.

Every Western Division team has a home field advantage. Minnesota's is profound. And they played a lot more home games than road games in the Big Ten.

All-time through 2017, except for Nebraska, which is 2011 through 2017, just their Big Ten years.

It might be more intersting if you looked at all teams from 2011 to 2017.

I am posting; you can look at it in other ways, and summarize those results. To me, history is more interesting. Nebraska's history in the Big 8 and Big 12 -- well, that is not so interesting to me.

Since 2011, UNL has lost 13 games at home. UW has lost 6 in that period. Iowa has lost 17.



Someone can check my counting if they want. I did it rather quickly and those are the only 3 I bothered to check.

Disagree. Too much noise in the signal and too much recency bias to really determine HFA.
Granted, I think anything pre-WWII should be thrown out. I think you need to restrict it to at least the "modern" era...

Does the modern era begin when the first Heisman Trophy was awarded to Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago, following the 1935 season? Does it start in 1955 when the NFL "recommended" face masks be added to helmets? I don't know when it begins. Or, in 1929 when Kinnick Stadium was built. Or, in 1924 when Ross-Ade Stadium was built?

There does seem to be two prevailing 'modern era' arguments.  One begins with the AP Poll era (1936), the other is post WWII.  I don't really care.

Personally I think you need to limited to the year they instituted scholarship limits (1973).

Fully implemented to 85 players in 1987, correct? Maybe that's even better?
