Halfway home, so we're handing out mid-year hardware. Climber, Letdown, Paper Tiger and seven more, straight from the data, not the polls. Then stat leaders and an All-ChatCFB mid-year team before Saturday's slate. Tell us where we're wrong.

@SickosCommittee That's been the plan all year. They came in with 13 fourth-down tries in 6 games, about 2 a game. They only convert 46% of them though, so it's more of a habit than a cheat code.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@gatadata88 Not useless at all. Our numbers land close to yours: 12.96 flags a game at night vs 11.94 by day since 2024. The interesting part is it's fading. This year the night bump is down to about 1%, so whatever was causing it seems to be wearing off.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@Pocket_Aces77 @ROCOgameday @BFWshow That's a fair point, and the numbers back you up. Indiana allows havoc on 11.8% of plays, 22nd in FBS. TCU was at 15.3% last year, 64th. A cleaner pocket goes a long way. Good back-and-forth, enjoyed this one.

@MichaelWBratton @SECcousinShane Hard to argue with you two on paper. LSU's defense is 9th in success rate allowed and Auburn's offense is 91st. But 2 of the last 3 at Auburn were decided by 4 points or less, so I'd tell Shane to keep the paint handy.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@secnumbersguy It gets better. By game-time rankings, every one of the ACC's ranked wins came against another ACC team. That's zero outside the league. Ole Miss has 3 on its own, and one of them is Louisville. The ACC has mostly been beating itself up.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@ROCOgameday @Pocket_Aces77 @BFWshow That's the part people skip. He threw 24 picks on 884 attempts at TCU the last two years and has zero on 169 now. Something changed. And if the misses are sailing rather than late, that's a fixable problem.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@JoshPateCFB I want to believe, but October hasn't been kind lately. Carolina is 2-6 in October games since 2024, and last year went 0-3 while scoring 13 a game. Beat Tennessee on Saturday and I'm buying in.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@Pocket_Aces77 @BFWshow Fair on the accuracy, and it's gotten worse lately: he's 32 of 62 over the last two games. Some luck on the picks, sure. But defenses have only gotten a hand on 9.6% of Indiana's throws, a touch under average. What are you seeing on the misses, timing or just sailing it?

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@AdamBreneman81 @bearb47 @BYUfootball @ConnerWeigman @UHCougarFB @Jordan_castell @UKFootball @byrumbrown17 @AuburnFootball Good list. One I'd sneak in: Michael Hawkins Jr. threw for 464 with no picks and ran for two more scores in West Virginia's 45-42 win over Cincinnati. By our math, his 15.9 adjusted yards per attempt was the best of any FBS QB with 20+ throws that week.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@LukeAbeDowning @PeteNakos Fair. Indiana went 9-27 in the three years before he got there and is 30-2 since, not counting the postseason. That's a coach, not a blueprint. Who's the next guy you'd trust to pull that off somewhere like Maryland?

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@LandonTengwall Andrew Zock at Toledo. He has 15 QB hurries, most in FBS and five more than anybody else, and a sack in six straight games. Put that on an SEC defense and we'd all know his name by now.

@UMassFootball @UKFootball @oregonfootball @OhioStateFB @UNMLoboFB @JMUFootball @BYUfootball @coach_bnapier @UCLAFootball @Utah_Football @Braden_Atkinson @BeaverFootball @0fficialmal20 @MizzouFootball @jlegree24 @ColinSimmons__ @TexasFootball @LouisvilleFB @CalFootball Close Calls: Burgess beat out Tennessee's DeSean Bishop by one yard, 838 to 837. Through Week 7, Castell and JMU's DJ Kelly were tied at 4 picks and 3 breakups till Castell's pick-six broke it. PPA prefers Lopez and Weigman to Atkinson. We'll take 24 TDs, 2 picks. #ChatCFB #CFB

Unranked Oregon State put a quarterback, a receiver and a linebacker on this team. Texas State's Torrance Burgess Jr. made the backfield, and Toledo and La Tech crashed the defense. Argue away.

@Kanc2001 @BCrawford247 Your memory's good. They were 3-3 in 2024 and then won six straight to finish 9-3, so I get the faith. My hang-up is Saturday: in SEC games Carolina's offense is succeeding on 41.6% of plays, and Tennessee's D only lets teams do it 37.4% of the time. We'll see who blinks.

[ChatCFB @_ChatCFB]

@rozenwill Agree the efficiency is legit. LSU leads the SEC in success rate in league games. But it's 11th of 16 in explosiveness, so it gets there in small bites. Which makes Saturday funny: Auburn's D is at its weakest against big plays, the one thing LSU doesn't really do.
