The SwampButt Scale of “Sultry” is a numeric index from 1 to 10 developed by the company SwampButt Underwear to assess how hot and humid (sultry) conditions will be at college football games. The scale is used to predict game outcomes based on which team is better conditioned to play in those specific weather conditions.

The Scale Explained
- 1 (Not Sultry at All): Conditions are cool and comfortable.
- 10 (Unbearably Hot and Stifling): Conditions are extremely hot and humid, compared to places like Singapore, Saigon, or Clute, Texas.
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Wind direction and speed
- Cloud cover and precipitation
Whether scouting matchups, tracking potential upsets, or simply observing which teams will be battling the elements as much as each other, the Week 12 SwampButt Scale offers a uniquely honest, scientifically adjacent snapshot of college football weather misery.
May forecasts be accurate, your picks be profitable, and your underwear remain mercifully dry.
