Postseason: A 46 bowl recap, go! See how every team performed against their simulated expectation. #cfb #cfbsky

What era? Nevermind, it's still probably Ernest Hemingway

Clearly a mistake to stop scheduling a local rival, the best team they've beaten is #64 Akron

Pats have no Bearcats and Seattle has Coby Bryant. Super easy to pick a side (But I am still more interested in snow sports than any lame ad by an agency doofing around with AI)

Palmer is now the only player in Premier League history to score three hat-tricks in the first half of a match 💙

Will playing in ASU colors unlock something within him?

I'm dreaming about having this headline apply to my school next year.

Nike's lies are even more bold than their Futura Condensed

They beat 3 SEC teams with winning records, and only 1 non-conf winning team (regular season). The 125th ranked strength of schedule by performance margins, only up to 92nd after the easiest playoff path against #42 Tulane—the one non-conf team above .500 from that easy schedule

I've been in a funk creatively and while this does not help my mood, the call to action hits home. I 100% agree and I want to push myself to make that effort.

I'm at a loss for words. I never knew Dan beyond his wonderful work and interaction with the Deadspin/Defector commentariat, but his ability to connect with so many people so easily will be sorely missed by me and countless others. RIP. I look fwd to the re-reads.

What are the chances Eric Adams actually knew how any of this worked?

Trying to mend sanity by doing some stat work, but need to log off. Love you BlueSky folks, keep doing the damn thing.

I'm not all that surprised given that most universities are closer to operating like private equity properties than institutions with ties to local community.

Just walked the dog and it was the least fun

This is the only kind of preseason rankings that should ever exist.

Every time I wonder if I should be getting back into the NFL after years of mostly ignoring it, a story like this seems to pop

No one brave enough to wade into the waters of objective statistical outcomes; all simply declare the final two teams to be the best two teams Polling remains, as ever, an incredibly poor means to measure reality

I'm really looking forward to charting where Indiana ranks compared to other champions in performance against strength of schedule. Spoiler: it's ahead of 2019 LSU. By a lot.

Congrats Indiana!! The simulator's average projection of 29-19 was only off by two points for each team, nailing the combined score. sTem (scoring tempo margin) projection was even closer at 28-21. It's amazing what a full season of data can project/when it is that close. #cfb #cfbsky

May the world feel our whole year of Big XII pain: What it's like to not get obvious roughing the passer or PI flags, sometimes multiple times on the same drive

Oregon was objectively a better team than Miami even without healthy RBs. Voting outcomes like these are why polling can never be considered valid or reflective of reality.

So does anyone believe Miami can win this game? Or is it just a question of how many points Indiana can run up? #cfb #cfbsky

It's been Caleb's signature move since college, it just didn't work out very often at USC. Growth??

Collingsworth talking about urgency like he hasn't seen the Bears play a first half all year

It was just 50° this past week, but the gods of true football heard the call and we have a kickoff temp of -2°. I love this for the away fans who don't get to experience seasons.

AI still hasn't gotten much better than a 1st/2nd grade reading level. Its output is much better than its ability to scan.

Projected real feel of 2 degrees for kickoff, welcome LA fans

QB Bo Nix backwards is xiNo BBQ, so one could assume he was always ready to be cooked (Xino, Greek: citric acid. Likely delicious)

I mean, this is the sole kind of good crazy from the past year

Quite frankly ISU on the calendar is the only thing we have to look forward to these days

Bad news for Miami fans ...if you don't hold Indiana below 34 points, that's likely to be the point it's all over. Indiana averages 42.6 points a game and wins 78.6% of simulations. The spread is an average of 14 points. #cfb #cfbsky #cfbplayoff

"with help" is so generous when it's more realistically "fully because of".

*Rayland Givens intensifies*

Just thinking back on what a special time Saturday late-night was

A fringe theory that this team should in fact now be called the Santa Clara 49ers holds much more weight

Not that I can be expected to take any poll related to college sports seriously, but I really do enjoy the analysis of @robertgriffiniii.bsky.social - it makes even a bad game from my school interesting

SHUCKLE THE GOAT OF ALL TIME #AGDQ2026

in baseball, we call this a wheeeeeeeee!

Boooo hissss (dad cheers)

Indiana is in unheralded statistical territory. They're more than a full 20% more efficient in scoring per play, adjusted for schedule, than 2019 LSU.

We're still in the range of probability from the simulator... But for how long?

Meanwhile

Peach Bowl semifinal time! Indiana are 65.4% favorites. Tonight avg sim score was 29-24 to Indiana. The bad news for Oregon is that this projection assumes a fully healthy team, and RBs look depleted by injury #cfb #cfbsky #CFBplayoff

Turned out pretty close to the simulated average! #cfb

Honestly more of a CLONK or a DONK
