Each year at the beginning of the college football and
basketball season you can tune into any source of media and get their lists of
the top 25 teams in the country. With good reason all the positive media
attention focuses on these teams who have worked hard to recruit a team with high expectations. This
immediately translates into conversation among sports fans across the nation
who all have their own opinions, including that of their home team as to which
entities should be included on this list. Though its helpful to know where the
power lies among a particular group of teams I find it much more valuable to
make a list of the worst teams in the country. It is important to play against
these teams early. Because it only takes 1 or 2 bad outings for the power
rating on these teams to drop like a stone, thus eroding all the play against
value. Though I've put these in order beginning with the worst for ATS purposes
one should consider there to be little difference among these teams.
