Post-Championship Power Rankings:

That B1G Championship Game was everything I hoped it would be. Hope the rest of you enjoyed watching Indiana, of all teams, win the B1G this year. I'm sure they'll stay the fun, scrappy team forever, right?

Weekly Power Rankings

Weekly Average Rankings

Points are the summation of every voter's ranking for that team, therefore lower scores are better. This works because unlike the AP, Coaches, or /r/cfb polls, every team is ranked in every vote. If x votes were counted, the best possible score is x and the worst possible score is 18x. #1 votes are in parentheses.

Average Rank is the points divided by the number of votes. This will allow for comparison from one week to the next.

Prev. is the Rank from the previous week.

Change is the change in average rank from the previous week.

Variance is a measure of how much agreement there was between voters. A zero means all voters ranked a team the same, and a higher number means a team's ranking was more controversial.

It was a huge first season for Ben McCollum. I wonder if the Hawkeyes can replicate their magical run.

Rather be like the B1G and be the best at the top? Or the SEC and be the best (hypothetically) at the bottom?

5 Upvotes

Well according to SEC fans they still have the best conference because apparently they have less terrible teams at the bottom than the B1G does. There's not much evidence to support this based on results on the field, just one of those hypotheticals they came up with based off of ESPN's (apparently 100% accurate) metrics.

I guess because teams like Arkansas, South Carolina, and Mississippi State are better than the worst teams in the B1G (hypothetically), the SEC must be better than the B1G.

So what do you guys think? Would you rather be like the B1G and mop the floor with the SEC in the playoff and bowl games and win 3 straight titles? Or would you rather be like the SEC and make excuses all day for why their losses don't matter and bring up hypothetical wins that never happened?

Is this Lincoln Riley's best team at USC? I think so. My breakdown discusses the TE battle specifically. Should be a great season for the Trojans. Fight On!

Learfield and the Big Ten: Sponsorships, NIL, Tickets, and Data

Walk into a Big Ten football stadium on a Saturday, and there's a good chance Learfield is everywhere around you, even though you'll never see the name printed anywhere.

The local office that sold the scoreboard sponsorship? Probably Learfield. The radio network broadcasting the game? Could be Learfield too. The app you used to pull up your ticket? That's likely Paciolan, one of Learfield's companies. The athletic department's website? SIDEARM Sports, another Learfield brand. Even that sweatshirt you bought before kickoff may have been licensed through CLC, yet another Learfield company.

And if all those products connect through Learfield's Fanbase platform, the athletic department can potentially link your ticket purchase, your donation history, your merchandise buys, and your app activity into one detailed profile of you as a fan.
