We introduced the standalone angle of top college football situational plays last year and had some success with it. In fact, our top-rated such plays went 10-5 against the spread (67%), providing a consistently winning angle for SportsLine members.
By top situational plays, we're referring to instances in which a college football program appears due for a psychological letdown following a monumental victory, or one that should perform with maximum focus and motivation because of circumstances that suggest the game is essentially a must-win.
Such circumstances are easier to identify as the season wears on, but we have zeroed in a couple of Week 2 matchups that meet the aforementioned criteria, with one in each category. Here are our top Week 2 college football situational plays.
