College Football News, Rumor & Humor

Sources: Stanford is hiring former Nike CEO John Donahoe as the school’s new athletic director, per me and @SethWickersham. Stanford coveted a non-traditional candidate for the role, and Donahoe’s hire delivers a seasoned CEO with stints at Nike, Bain & Company and EBay.

I'm waiting for college football. That's my life right now, call it sad if you want, I don't care.

Having said that I was watching a documentary about the '72 Iron Bowl and with the score 16-3 late Auburn blocked a punt and David Langner returned a blocked punt for a TD. Then Langner returned a 2nd blocked punt for a TD. To top it off he intercepted a Bama pass to seal the victory. The "Camback". Of course there's also the Kick 6. And then the Grave Digger play a couple years ago. So many unbelievable moments in this rivalry.
 
Any "model" suggesting that an 8-4 team should be considered for an at-large CFP bid should be thrown out immediately. And go figure, 7 of the 8 in that tier are in the SEC. College football has almost entirely jumped the shark with this SEC bull****.

Syracuse is the only non-SEC/B1G listed as being in the conversation with fewer than 10 wins. Their schedule's pretty brutal - at Tennessee and catches most of the top of the ACC, majority on the road.

I don’t understand the (physical) lines within each category. Like, Arkansas and Florida are above some line, the a few other teams beneath it in the 8-win category. I understand the closer you are to the left, the higher your chances…but I don’t understand the line.

I do find it funny that, according to this model, 10 win Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon, Clemson, Tennessee, Notre Dame and USC would all be considered to have equal CFP arguments as an 8 win Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Miss State, South Carolina, etc.

I wouldn't try to dive too deep. It's just an opinion that they try to make look more authoritative and objective by applying some numbers to graph.

Left vs Right doesn't mean anything. The lines within each category suggests they are closer to the lower win total than the higher one. For example, this model suggests Arkansas and Florida are closer to being in the discussion even at 7 wins, while Vandy, Miss State, Kentucky are closer to needing 9 wins.
