I know the tried and true system of playing an unranked home favorite over a ranked road dog but I was watching the Bama-Miss St. game last night and I started thinking, doesn't this system really apply to anytime a home team is favored over a higher ranked road team? I mean, the commentators always talk about how when the lower ranked team wins it is an "upset" but I certainly don't consider that to be the case anymore. Just in the last week, there's been 4 of these that I can think of off the top of my head: Maryland over Duke, Kentucky over ND, Indiana over Illinois, and the aforementioned Miss St. over Bama. Has anybody else tracked this statistic either this year of historically?
