In the interest of science, I just crunched RPI's home vs. Away #'s since 2001(Including Playoffs)(not Including 2009 games)

Home Record - 31-8 (.794872)
Away Record - 32-10(.761905)

We have a Delta of 3.297%

Looking across the D3 scoreboard for the first 4 weeks of this year, home teams have gone 224-197 for a .532 winning percentage.

Hardly a home-field advantage?

It's worth something and displaces the notion that there is an away field advantage.  How much is that 6 out of 100 differential worth?  I say 3 points, but don't declare that gospel.

Pep has always been impressed how Kaz00 can crunch numbers....Pep would rather read history.

3 points if we were on a 'Every winning team scores 50 points' scale.  I bet it's closer to .5 ppg advantage.

Quite the ****in breakdown here fellas.

+K across the boards....for the math lessons....D3football...it's academic!

Gro will add his 2 cents by saying that Dr. Von Doggenstein is 100% correct in everything he's posted about schedules, homefield advantage, etc.

In fact, its only a matter of time before he blacks out and wakes up as the original LD11 with a wing sauce goatee and empty bottles of all the ingredients to make irish car bombs scattered around the room.

Take advantage of this knowledge people.

It's probably the right cross sucker punch that the Dr. absorbed Saturday night.

Well, conventional gambling wisdom in the NFL is that home field advantage is worth 3 points (which is why I arbitrarily apply it to D3).  Looking at the first 3 weeks of the pro season (I know, SSS) the home team is 25-23 for a winning percentage of .521 which isn't all that different than D3's .532 advantage.  There is some advantage to playing at home, so if you're arguing in relation to a common opponent with the same margin of victory where the game was played should also factor into the discussion.

I like this.  Here are the numbers for IC since 2001

Home 38-5 (.883720)

Away 29-15 (659090)

Maybe the answer is that just some teams in D3 have a home-field advantage.

that used to ring true but most professional odds makers now will tell you that number of +3 for home field was way too large and it is much more along the lines of .5/1 pt like LD stated. home field is factored in the line but it doesnt carry near as much weight as it used to....

That very well may be true and I'm not married to the 3 points, but merely use it as a way to try and make sense of what and where results occur.
