The model's winner call: locked before the start, graded in public, built on the market's price.
WKU end zone ← 100 yards → MTSU end zone
A longer bar = a better setup for the offense: half from how high the offense ranks, half from how low the defense across from it ranks (of 137). A full bar is the best offense against the worst defense; the dashed tick is an even matchup. Biggest advantage first.
WKU has the clear advantage in havoc; MTSU's defense has it in passing.
MTSU has the clear advantage in turnovers, finishing drives and rushing; WKU's defense has it in third-down conversion.
WKU offense ranks better in 3 of 6 matchups (1 by a clear margin) · MTSU defense in 3 (1 by a clear margin)
MTSU offense ranks better in 4 of 6 matchups (3 by a clear margin) · WKU defense in 2 (1 by a clear margin)
Each measure, offense vs opposing defense, ranked of 137 (1 = best). Favors: big rank gap. ▲▼: recent trend.

The 6 measures where these two sit furthest apart among the league's 138 ranked teams, over each team's last 13 regular-season games (Oct 2025 – Oct 2026; 7 in 2026, 6 in 2025). A longer bar = higher in the league (rank 1 = highest, even for points allowed). A rank says where a number sits, not which side it points to.
