It’s almost here.

The CFBD Starter Pack drops in the morning.
It's been a long time coming.
I hope it makes building your first model easier, faster, and more fun.

Here’s a quiet preview 🧵

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Was just informed that I have been laid off.

I am actively seeking full-time employment in either data analytics or sports analysis (ideally both!).

Skills: SQL, R, Python, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, AWS, Snowflake, Databricks (and more)

Please DM with any leads.

The 2025 NFL draft QBs career FBS passing yards sectioned off by depth of target. So for example, 38.7% of Shedeur Sanders career passing yards came on targets less than 5 yards downfield

UMass landed Yale LB transfer Dean Shaffer, and I'm mainly telling you this so I can show you how he transformed from "classic Ivy League linebacker" into The Joker.

Noticing a bunch of new people on here in the past couple days.

If you're looking for college football folks to follow, I've created the ultimate starter pack.

Always looking for new additions, so if I'm missing anyone please let me know!
Spent some time building the ultimate college football starter pack (in spreadsheet to avoid 150 limit).

Everyone is organized by conference and school.

Now I need your help sharing this and filling in the blanks. Let me know who I need to add!

Checked in on the BSky usage stats again just for fun.

Interesting that we’re in this period of slow and steady use increase?

In other words, if the very top of college football this year feels like it might be a tick below the very top of college football over most of the last 10 years, the numbers back that up.

I want to live in a world where more than a few games on everybody’s schedule “count” because we decided to draw a line at 25 rather than discuss the results of every game.

Agreed! I’ll go a step further: based on what I’ve read about how the room operates and the presentation of the data they use, I think they also do themselves and the *process* a disservice. They apparently don’t consider the value (or lack thereof) of half or more of the game results.

Tulsa just announced that Kevin Wilson is double ultra fired after today's result.

This will probably happen, but what SHOULD happen is a penalty for the losers that instigate the fight.
This is going to be the week that the monetary penalty for flag planting will be created. The "Baker Rule"

How often has each contender* played like the "best" team in the country (as measured by count of 95th percentile opp-adjusted FEI game ratings)?

6 - Ohio St
4 - Alabama, Texas
3 - Georgia, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Oregon, South Carolina

*some of these teams are probably not getting into the playoff
