Wednesday college football is here! #109 Missouri State @ #132 Middle Tennessee State kicks off soon. Can the Bears get back to .500 against struggling MTSU, or is this a chance for the Blue Raiders to notch the 1st conference win of the season?

Is tomorrow night's showdown of #125 Liberty at #127 UTEP one of the week's closest and most intriguing games? At the Sun Bowl in El Paso, we know it'll be fun to watch regardless.

CFB Top 5 Scoring Tempo (sTem): 1. Ohio State 2. Indiana 3. Oregon 4. Texas Tech 5. Vanderbilt Commodores fall from 3rd to 5th in points per play margin after the 14-30 loss to Alabama.

College football Top 5 Performance Against Strength of Schedule (PASS): 1. Ohio State 2. Oregon 3. Oklahoma 4. Indiana 5. BYU Ooo for spooky season.

Objective Top 10 shakeup! #27 Washington knocks #7 Maryland off their high horse for performance against schedule. #22 Alabama about to do the same to #2 Vanderbilt. No, Texas at #31 was not near the Top 10

New Mexico is on a potential upset alert, but everything else has gone as expected... Can Mountaineers wake up and cause some stress for a ranked opponent?

5 CFB Friday night games! #119 Charlotte at #43 South Florida #115 Colorado St. at #49 San Diego St. #52 New Mexico at #120 San Jose St. #92 West Virginia at #18 BYU #31 Western Kentucky at #50 Delaware Ranks are Performance Against Strength of Schedule (PASS+)

Last night's 37-10 game went off exactly as you'd expect, Sam Houston definitely looked like a near-last place team.

Week 6 Objective Rankings are here! and #135 Sam Houston State at #88 New Mexico State kicks the week off shortly.

Exhale. Fly the flag. Sing the song. Get those buses ready to go up the 94.

MLB postseason story of the year, for me a Bearcat entrenched in Brooklyn for better than 18 years

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

I was hoping for Weird Al videos not weird AI videos. This font's lack of distinction between big i and little l...

The topic that keeps on giving. This competiton offers a veritable buffet of failsons across all American sports. It's honestly too much for even the best bracketologists to comprehend

Really pairs quite well with the discussion I was just having about the hottest competition in America being "Who is the least competent sports franchise"

Big XII action yesterday was intense and trademark chaotic. The refs could not keep their flags in pocket, particularly on holding calls. There's blanket misunderstanding by the refs of what holding is - instead calling clean trap blocks and pancakes as penalties. Img sums it up

SEC stuff: #30 Alabama beat #38 Georgia (Not an upset in performance against schedule rank) #24 Mississippi beats #14 LSU An upset! #22 Tennessee beats #5 Mississippi State in OT An upset! #2 Vanderbilt throttles #46 Utah State Very expected

Notable upsets! #77 Kansas State over #13 UCF #32 Illinois over #11 USC Bad day for 3-letter-Us

The Big XII flag factory continues its output from last night, getting an easy targeting call right after long deliberation, and immediately calling holding that was non-existent anywhere in replay.

Definitely not the latter, as fans subjected to Splatterfield have basically witnessed.

Hello to everyone still awake watching this OT

One of those games where you see 15 minutes straight of referees making faces and then boom! You're tied.

FG blocked! Coogs really reset the momentum there

And still! A team I have possibly jinxed even more thoroughly, 3-0 Houston, is having a very awful no good first half against 0-4 Oregon State. Could drastically change the trajectory of both teams here.

Dear reader: FSU did not do this. Embarrassing! Their reign as the best tempo team lasts one short week.

Friday night football! A brief matchup thread: Will road team #15 Florida State ruin #47 Virginia? The best scoring tempo margin in the nation only has a 7.5 spread to cover.

Felt like insane fortune to snag a matsutake at market so I made a suimono - the mushroom is doing all the work here but easily one of the best things I've made

PASS rankings begin the week 1/1 as #63 proves to be too much for #110

For anyone considering placing bets on football tomorrow, especially on all those SEC games - the best thing you can possibly do is ignore the opinion poll rankings. Follow stats, or follow your heart, but don't follow the imaginary. (Also please gamble responsibly)

Me and only me every time Suzuki hits a dinger "Seiya later!"

#110 Army could go a long way in bolstering their ranks if they can win over a competent #63 ECU on the road. They'll need to improve upon the 114-ranked scoring tempo margin to pull it off.

The college football Week 5 Objective Top 25 is here! Last week there were a lot of upsets in the opinion poll ranks, that weren't upsets at all in terms of on-field performance data. #cfb

There's a new ruler in tempo town. The Seminoles are going off.

i think its stupid we have minigolf and golf but not megagolf

The higher PASS* rated team won 45 of Week 4's 62 college football games, right about at its 10-year average just over 72%. *Performance Against Strength of Schedule #cfb

It's an absolutely beautiful Sunday in Chicago, perhaps too beautiful to affect with a Bears game

Indiana deserved better than the 10-spot against ND last year, and they're making that statement now against a strong Illini team.

There have been so many close games today. One I did not expect was the 10-10 second half score from #54 Arizona State and #94 Baylor (scoring tempo; sTem)

The PAC12 remnants came into Week 4 in rough shape. #95 Oregon State and dead-last #136 Washington State could leave even worse off. Can the cougars salvage any respect tonight?

So many close tempo matchups today. #30 Auburn and #32 Oklahoma (sTem) coming down to the wire.

Rankings for performance are holding up really well today. #24 Memphis defeats #35 Arkansas #63 Syracuse defeats #82 Clemson #9 Maryland defeats #59 Wisconsin #33 TCU defeats #50 SMU #7 Texas Tech defeats #13 Utah

After Q1 we're tied 7-7

The FBS team with the objectively higher performance rank is currently 11-1 in Week 4.

A reminder that the Game of the Week has begun: Louisiana and Eastern Michigan are the two most-closely ranked teams of Week 4

Objectively-ranked #9 Maryland throttling #59 Wisconsin today came as no surprise here. Luke Fickell out?

Hard to believe there was upset buzz this week for a Bowling Green team ranked #83 in tempo over a very competent Louisville team in the top 25.

#7 Texas Tech leads #13 Utah at the half, 10-3 (Performance Against Strength of Schedule; PASS). TTU: #4 in the nation in scoring tempo margin (sTem) with a margin of +.59 points per play Utah is #17 with PPP margin of +.42
