If you aren't on Twitter, you might not have seen this! @marc-gregor.bsky.social and @byazuniga.bsky.social are putting together a photo book chronicling the 2025-26 Michigan men's basketball national championship season. It should be fantastic. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

There’s a clear exponential curve between roster talent and NFL Draft picks. Good teams produce draft picks. Elite teams flood the draft.

Michigan didn’t just win the title… they ran through everyone. • Beat all 3 Final Four teams • 6 of 7 Elite Eight teams • 9 of 15 Sweet Sixteen teams This is an absurd tournament résumé.

Updated historical Elo chart for the newly crowned men's basketball National Champion, Michigan. Greatest Michigan team of all time? They have a strong argument.

Season Elo Trends - National Title Game Edition Michigan has hovered near the top of Elo most of the year. UConn has consistently graded out as an elite team. Strong vs steady with it all on the line tonight.

Offense gets headlines. Defense wins in March. The Final Four teams? They do both and that’s why they’re still standing. More data: CollegeBasketballData.com

Shot distribution contrast in the Final Four: • Illinois: extreme 3PT reliance (50%) • Arizona: highest mid-range rate (32%) • Michigan: near-even rim/3 split • UConn: efficient modern profile Philosophy clash this weekend.

Seed Says Chalk. Elo Says Elite. With two 1-seeds, a 2-seed, and a 3-seed, this was already one of the chalkiest Final Fours of the seeding era. But by pre-tournament Elo, it was even stronger than that seed profile might suggest.

The Sweet 16 breaks into tiers: 🏆 Championship DNA: Duke, Michigan, Arizona ⚠️ Dangerous but flawed: Alabama, Purdue, Illinois 🧊 Defense travels: Nebraska, Houston Balance still wins in March… usually. Who survives this weekend?

Sweet 16 advanced stats breakdown 👀 • Illinois: most efficient offense remaining (131.6) • Duke: best defense left (94.4) • Michigan: elite two-way profile (123 Off / 98 Def) • Iowa State: defense + turnover pressure combo Who cuts down the nets?

Indiana winning the national title is one of the most improbable achievements in college football history. This map shows where that roster came from: under-recruited players, portal additions, and a truly national footprint.

Updated Elo chart for 2025 National Champion Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana gives the B1G three straight national championships, including two undefeated championships in that span.

Normally, I'd wait until after the NCG, but I really wanted to see Indiana's Elo chart at this point. They were basically a vertical line from 2023 to 2024. That trend has continued into 2025.

Vandy sits No. 1 nationally in CollegeBasketballData.com's Adjusted Offensive Efficiency metric, and this shot map tells the story: 🚀 Heavy volume at the rim 🎯 Concentrated right-wing threes 📈 Strong interior shot diet The formula is working.

Which CFP teams have been most dominant in the trenches? This chart measures opponent-adjusted line yards per rush. Indiana, Miami, and JMU have all built their successes on both setting up and stopping the run. Ole Miss, not so much.

Here’s where every FBS team lands when you compare Team Talent Composite to current Elo ratings. CFP qualifiers are circled. ND sits way up in elite territory with the top Elo rating… but no playoff spot. Pretty tough spot for them. Do you think the committee got it right?

Field goals aren’t supposed to be automatic… but some of these guys didn’t get the memo 😅 Here are the PAAR leaders through Week 14. Tate Sandell is basically printing points.

Who’s been the most efficient QB this season? Here are the leaders in opponent-adjusted EPA/dropback (WEPA) through Week 14. Julian Sayin tops the list, with Diego Pavia and Jayden Maiava close behind.

2026 men’s hoops landscape so far 👀 ➡️ Better offense → ⬆️ Better defense ↑ 🔥 Top-right = contenders Opponent-adjusted efficiency through Nov. 30. Explore the numbers at CollegeBasketballData.com.

Rivalry Week Elo Charts - UCLA vs USC Tracking the trajectory of both programs, year by year. These programs have been on wildly diverging paths the past few seasons.

Rivalry Week Elo Charts - Alabama vs Auburn Decade by decade. How the Iron Bowl powers have risen, dipped, and traded dominance across 100+ years.

Rivalry Week Elo Charts - Oregon vs Washington Classic Big Ten rivalry between bordering states played on Thanksgiving weekend. Defending B1G Champion Oregon is looking to punch its ticket to Indy this weekend.

Rivalry Week Elo Charts - Texas vs Texas A&M One of the longest played series in CFB. Texas leads the overall series 77-37-5 with the Aggies looking to nab their first series victory since 2010. Who do you have on Friday night?

Michigan and Ohio State combine for 21 National Championships. When toe meets leather at noon next Saturday, it will have been 2192 days since OSU last had a win in the series. Ryan Day is 1-4 against Michigan. Sherrone Moore is 2-0 against OSU.

Opponent-adjusted Line Yards through Week 13 B1G Country is Trench King Country Indiana, Oregon, Michigan, even Iowa all standing out as dominant on both sides of the line on rush plays.

Opponent-adjusted Success Rates through Week 13 (P4 + ND) B1G CG should be a monster of a game should two of Indiana/Oregon/Ohio State make it in.
