If we could get announcers to talk about turnover luck instead of 4th down decisions then football fans would be smarter about football.

This is a great example on why you shouldn't use power ratings for playoff selection because everything he says is correct, but the results on the field have to matter.
I have BYU just outside the top 10 of power ratings BUT they are 1st in my resume score after their ND win.

This might be one of the best on-campus interactive videos I’ve seen from a football program.
@NUFBFamily sent its specialists around campus to find hidden kicking talent among Northwestern students. 😂
The reactions and kicks did not disappoint.

If you've felt like the gap between the top college football teams and other good teams has felt smaller this season, you're correct based off of opponent-adjusted net EPA/play
Here is the gap between the #1 team in net EPA/play and the #15 team by season (all through 7 weeks):
•2019: +0.23
•2021: +0.17
•2022: +0.17
•2023: +0.19
•2024: +0.16
•2025: +0.21
•2026: +0.10(!)

We are seeing significant compression at the top of CFB this season, but before you run out an ascribe it to your favorite potential cause it's important to note:
it's not actually a trend. We've had years like this before and the prior two seasons were not like it at all.

not too long ago (in 2023) 9 points was basically the difference between #1 and #5.
today 9 points is the difference between #1 and #14

Week 2 Composite Ratings!
Seeing a clear top 3: Georgia, Ohio St, Bama

Based on the stats the games produced, Texas had a 77.8% chance of going 2-0 against OU and Florida and a 1.2% chance of going 0-2. I commend the Horns for expanding our statistical horizons and showing us amazing things are possible in the world.
"John Mateer is in the zone right now"
First time an announcer has said that all year. Sounds like a jinx if you ask me.

Wait, I was wrong. With bama, its actually an 11-team SEC Circle of Chaos!
Since the SEC began in 1933, only 20 seasons have produced an 11-team circle.
And 2026 did it by Week 6, the earliest ever. Chaos!
