Building on some #dataviz ideas I've been kicking around the last few weeks, I pulled a few elements together into an overall game possession and drive summary visualization template: bcftoys.com/whiteboard/pos… #CFP #Indiana #Miami

Tulsa is wild. Since 2007 in all FBS games almost 68,000 touchdowns have been scored, and there have been only 91 instances of a point after or two point conversion attempt being returned for a two point defensive score. Tulsa was involved in NINE of them.

I know there’s a lot going on right now, but I just realized Bowling Green punted from the opponent 30-yard line on Friday.

Auburn played four games against FEI top-5 opponents and went 2-2. Tigers had No.1 SOS. Alabama played one game vs top-5 opponent and went 0-1. Alabama had No.60 SOS. We debate conferences often, but conferences themselves can have major imbalances within conf and division.

Iowa just had an 11-play drive that didn’t reach midfield. Then they punted and recovered a muffed punt.
