College Football Teams Value Report: An Analysis

When evaluating college football teams, understanding their performance against various tiers of teams can be an invaluable tool for both analysts and bettors. The Raymond Report tracks such data, classifying teams into three categories:

  • Tier 1 Teams (A): Above average teams with 60% or above performance.
  • Tier 2 Teams (B): Average teams with a performance ranging between 50% to 59.9%.
  • Tier 3 Teams (C): Below average teams with performance below 49.9%.

Our analysis focuses on five Division 1 football teams: Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina State, and Duke. Let's start by breaking down their line values when playing home or away against A, B, and C type teams.
