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.

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
FYI:
The 2002 Fiesta Bowl between Miami-Ohio State also had Big 12 refs.

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?

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.

It's been Caleb's signature move since college, it just didn't work out very often at USC. Growth??
I also remember how Tecmo Super Bowl didn’t care how far the QB had to throw so you could just run back and never get sacked

Collingsworth talking about urgency like he hasn't seen the Bears play a first half all year
I appreciate that Caleb Williams gets the stinky throws out the way in the first 3 quarters

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.
Writing on the internet is awful, either:
Everyone is using AI to populate their site
Scrapers are being used too often
Writing ability in adults is severely stunted
Or
Middle schoolers are possibly the authors/editors of over half the internet

Projected real feel of 2 degrees for kickoff, welcome LA fans
No offense to Chicago, but a Rams-Seahawks NFC Championship to complete the trilogy is what we need.

QB Bo Nix backwards is xiNo BBQ, so one could assume he was always ready to be cooked (Xino, Greek: citric acid. Likely delicious)
Stunner: Broncos coach Sean Payton just announced QB Bo Nix broke a bone in his ankle and is out for the season.

I mean, this is the sole kind of good crazy from the past year
in the last 105 days, unranked Cincinnati teams have defeated #14 Iowa State in football (Oct. 4), #11 Iowa State in women's basketball (Jan. 7), and #2 Iowa State in men's basketball (today), all at home

A fringe theory that this team should in fact now be called the Santa Clara 49ers holds much more weight
my SFGATE colleague Anna Guth spoke with scientists about the dumbest fringe theory in sports www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...
A fringe theory about 49ers injuries has gone viral. Here's what scientists say.
The theory hunts for an explanation to all the injuries.

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.
