@Ben_Turner92 Check out Coros as well. I swapped to them from Garmin and really enjoy their app and interface better. Coros has a few less features, but for the price worked way better for me and didn’t miss them.

Holy Toledo! + USF/UNT/Boise/Old Dominion. After the CFP competators the G6 gets real messy real fast.

High performers in G6 are just as capable as much of the P4.

I love seeing how models rate the conferences, here’s what EVO saw at the end of last season.

-B1G+ND dominate the top
-SEC’s depth is unmatched
-ACC/Big 12 happy to be here (Tech, Utah, Miami excluded)
-Vandy’s offense was more efficient than most give credit for

@CF_Budge I don’t get the people that don’t understand college games should be played on college campuses

@Bruhndon03 @BoxScore_FB @CFBHome @CFBKings @HoosierHystrcs @CFBAlerts_ Agreed first 4-5 weeks rankings should be super fluid

Most CFB models have to use preseason data that bleeds into the mid season to get good results.

I built EVO as a different model. Zero bias. Zero history. Solely on the field performance.

Here’s how this disagreed with the committee last year:

[Ryan Johnson @RyanJohnson_CFB]

This model was built to do 2 things. 1) embrace the chaos of early season CFB and 2) show the bias in human rankings such as the CFP poll.

The plot shows how underranked undefeated G6 teams are compared to their 3 loss counterparts in the ACC and Big 12
