    About this page

    University Stadium weather is updated live and produces a game-time forecast read for every home game. The page uses one permanent URL for the venue; match-up details rotate as the schedule changes, so search results always point to current conditions. Our own study of 4,330 college football games found wind alone showed no material scoring deviation, so we keep these reads descriptive — conditions and context, not exaggerated edge claims.

    What the research says

    The published studies behind the read on this page at University Stadium. Every figure is season-adjusted, with sample sizes and t-statistics shown.

    • College Football Wind & Kicking

      Crosswind — resolved against each venue's true field bearing — bends field-goal accuracy. Game totals show no material deviation.

    • College Football Heat & Humidity Shock

      Do cool-climate teams underperform when they travel into hot, humid Southern venues in August and September? Graded against closing lines, with control games alongside.

    • College Football Extreme Heat & Totals

      A widely repeated claim says non-conference games go Over about 59% of the time at 85–106°F. Our data: 52.8% against a 49.1% control — no meaningful edge.

    • College Football Rain & Totals
