On the Wednesday August 22 edition of BangTheBook Radio, host Adam Burke was joined by Ed Feng of The Power Rank to discuss college football polls and regression analysis handicapping. Most people believe that the polls don’t mean anything, but Ed had a different take on what we can use that information for in a college football betting sense.

Dr. Feng has a PhD from Stanford in applied math, so he uses a lot of those elements in his handicapping. The guys talked about how to use linear regression to find value in the college football betting market for both teams to buy and teams to sell for the upcoming season.
