A lot of talk today about the @CFBPlayoff - probably by design of the process. Happy to share my data which factors only games v Power Conf Opp. 13-25 in first comment
Ryan Day on Buyout Island? Jeff Lebby joins him, along with Rhule, Deion and Sonny Dykes.
Plus, Greg Schiano gets a reprieve at Rutgers.
Five coaches. Big buyouts. Tough decisions.
The new Agent Confidential Buyout Island Index @BackPorchX is out.
How good is Texas' defense playing this season?
They're allowing just 4.13 yards per play so far this season which leads the country.
To put that in perspective, that's better than Georgia's historic 2021 unit that allowed 4.15 in their national championship season.
No. 11 in the country. Just a 16.8% CFP chance in our model.
Kentucky fans are entitled to ask: what gives? 🔵
A lot of the answer is still on the schedule.
Florida is close to a coin flip. Kentucky is an underdog at Missouri. Louisville is another game the model sees as slightly less than a coin flip.
The ranking says Kentucky has a playoff position to defend. The schedule says defending it will be difficult.
But win all three, and our model puts the Wildcats above 99%. The opportunity is very much there.
This week, start with Florida. Then pull for LSU, Oklahoma and Texas A&M to make life less comfortable for other SEC contenders.
Conference pride can take the weekend off.

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨
Former #NFL head coach Rex Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police Wednesday morning after allegedly hitting two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week.
Police say Ryan RAN OVER both victims’ feet and struck one in the leg while they were crossing with a walk signal.
Ryan allegedly drove away after an argument with the victims.
Rex faces SIX charges, including leaving the scene, failing to provide information or aid, and disobeying a traffic signal.
South Carolina’s playoff hopes are still alive. And “alive” is doing more work than you might think. 🐔
Win out, and our model gives the Gamecocks an 83.2% CFP chance.
The catch? That includes beating Georgia. A pretty substantial item on the to-do list.
This is overwhelmingly an at-large chase, and some help around the country over the next few weeks would make it more comfortable. But Carolina still has a chance to change its own résumé dramatically.
For this week: handle Arkansas. Then become an enthusiastic supporter of SMU, Baylor and Oklahoma State.
Apparently the road from Columbia to the playoff includes a layover in the old Southwest Conference footprint.
Georgia can wait a week. 👇

LSU had enough talent to beat Ole Miss, Kentucky and Alabama.
Instead, the Tigers lost all three.
Bad luck? Bad coaching? Or something far more troubling?
Charles Hanagriff identifies a disturbing pattern that's costing #LSU games — and it's not a lack of talent.
It’s official.
Kim Mulkey and #LSU have officially signed the nation’s top center: Caroline Bradley.
“To wear those 3 letters across my chest that brings so much pride and joy to the state of Louisiana is going to be really cool,” she told @Geaux247
