I'm going to be wrong A LOT. The goal is to be right just enough to make a difference. All the better if all learn more about college football and make some memories along the way

@bcfremeau I’ve noticed lots of the top teams who have playoff aspirations (osu the biggest example) have motored down on a seconds per play basis in an outward attempt to limit plays, especially while ahead (Day has talked about this)
Using the completely arbitrary (but fun) game rating of .633 (since only one eventual national champion in the past 18 years has had a single game rating below .633) the current teams who haven’t had a game rating below .633:
Indiana
Ohio State
Oregon
USC
Notre Dame
Miami
Georgia
Texas A&M
And, checks notes…
Auburn
Well said... Could also say: only one eventual National Champion in the past 18 years had a single game rating lower than .633....
Texas posted a .604 vs UTEP....
Alabama posted a .376 vs FSU...
2025 Teams with every game above the .633 threshold (only 21 teams, so will be interesting to monitor who can maintain a .633 threshold the entire year):
Auburn
Cincinnati
Georgia
Indiana
Iowa
LSU
Miami FL
Mississippi State
Nebraska
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Ole Miss
Oregon
Penn State
TCU
Tennessee
Texas A&M
Texas Tech
USC
Vanderbilt
Here is a fun statistic using FEI game ratings. Probably needs to be fact checked. But since 2017 when Alabama won the National Championship, no National Champion has had a single Game Rating below .687 (Ohio state in 2024 vs Michigan) in the year they won the Natty. Not a big trend guy, but maybe exclusion criteria when predicting a national champion?
@bcfremeau Perhaps another way to evaluate Game Ratings: Who is subject to "Dud" performances. Maybe use .5, maybe .6, maybe .7, but what teams havent had "dud" performances from a Game Ratings observation. (Yes Bama, you made me think of this)
@bcfremeau Makes sense. Thanks for further explaining in such a simple way. Also like the inclusion of the PVE when looking at how teams did in individual matchups. Wish Game Rating metrics were used more when evaluating playoff seeding
Some team performances this weekend we might look back on as outliers at the end of the year, and some team performances might be their median result of the season.
From colleagues, to guest pickers, fans and beyond, those around the college football community share what Lee Corso means to them.
We love you, Coach 🧡
