NCAAF Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Kansas 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.
Count them up and eleven teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
Riding high
The longest active run belongs to Kansas State: three consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
North Dakota State are building a case of their own at 3 straight.
Pittsburgh join the party at 3 straight.
Going the wrong way
On the other side of the ledger, Bowling Green have dropped three straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.
Eastern Michigan are on a slide of their own at 3 straight losses.
The board
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Kansas State | won 3 straight |
| Bowling Green | lost 3 straight |
| North Dakota State | won 3 straight |
| Pittsburgh | won 3 straight |
| Penn State | won 3 straight |
One more thing
A 3-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.
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.
Next up on the slate: Arkansas State against TCU. Check back after that one goes final.
