As the non-conference phase of the college football season draws to a close and with few FBS vs FCS matchups remaining, focus shifts to recent performances and point spread trends—especially for teams that have benefitted from easy non-league schedules but now face tougher conference competition.

At midseason, some teams’ patterns are evidently defined, while others are on the verge of emerging. This article emphasizes recent trends, particularly point spread streaks and the performance of teams against the spread. Historically, many teams start to improve significantly in the season’s second half; coincidentally, it’s often when others begin to falter.

Key Trends to Watch
