STRANOVA predictions.
SPIN's computer rating system. Published before kickoff, frozen, graded in public.
STRANOVA is SPIN's computer rating system for high school and college football. It reads every result, weighs who each team actually played, and turns the gap between two teams into a win chance for each side. Before a game we publish the pick, the win chance and a projected score. Then we freeze them. After the game we post the final next to the call. Every call is graded in public on the scoreboard: right or wrong on the winner, and how far the margin missed. A high win chance is not a lock. It is a number you can hold us to. STRANOVA rates teams, never players, and it is not a betting product.
