I’ve been working on better ways to visualize college football game data for as long as I’ve been collecting it. Let's punch up a basic drive summary table with some graphic elements:

There are a lot of reasons to like sports, but the thing that draws me in is the opportunity to watch Things Not Go The Way They Are Supposed To.
It’s the thing that ties together underdog stories and impossible endings and dominant runs by superhuman athletes, this destruction of sensibility.

Saw Marty Supreme last weekend, and was inspired to do a comp of serving advantage across multiple sports.
Tennis 🎾: it's an advantage to serve
Volleyball 🏐: it's a disadvantage to serve
Table Tennis 🏓: nearly 50/50, based on what limited data I was able to find

Gasaway on college hoops is a must read, this really good
This staunch popularist has a beef with one of basketball's four factors. After 20-plus years it's still invisible to the casual fan.
Let's try points per shot instead. It's equally accurate and maybe a wider population will use it.

Trying to measure schedule similarity in college football
For example, while Penn State and Ohio State play each other this season, the teams only share two common opponents despite both being in the Big Ten
Plus, how schedule similarity has declined over time using a sample of seasons
