Streak Watch: North Dakota State Have Won 3 Straight (College Football)
Published
Streaks are the league's pulse. You can read the whole mood of College Football off who keeps stacking wins and who cannot find the exit, and this morning's board, counted straight from the results table, has some runs worth talking about.
As of this morning, three different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The teams stacking wins
North Dakota State just keep stacking, three wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.
Pittsburgh are building a case of their own at 3 straight.
Add USC to the list too, 3 in a row.
One more thing
The longest run on the board sits at 3 games, and runs that size have a way of bending a whole week's storylines around them, every broadcast, every pregame note, every nervous manager quote.
A streak is history with good posture: impressive to look at, honest about the past, silent about tonight. Markets know this, which is why streaking teams get funny prices.
The schedule cooperates, too, North Dakota face Nebraska next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
