How games are picked

Every game is judged by NovaModel's rankings from before it was played, so nothing is graded with hindsight. A game makes the reel when a top-10 team loses to a team ranked well below it (an upset), when both teams are in the top 10, when the #1 team plays, or when a top-10 team's game is decided by three points or fewer. The biggest upsets come first. No betting lines or win probabilities are used.
