How are Top 10 teams having so much ATS success? Not by running up the score

Great article about teams covering the spread at a high percentage because teams are "running up the score for bcs standings"

"These seven teams (LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Boise State, Wisconsin and Stanford) have played 44 total games. In 35 of them, the fourth quarter had no effect on the ATS result. Put another way, the teams were either covering at the end of the third quarter and ended up covering for the game, or they weren’t covering at the end of the third quarter and didn’t cover for the game."
