The CFP rankings are out. Are they more or less aligned with on-field performance, SoS, or win % than in years past?

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting mass exodus: poll
Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday's mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, a new poll warns.

A couple of crushing defeats among the more predictable trendlines bring us into Week 11 of Performance Against Strength of Schedule (PASS).
We're guaranteed another big swing as Top Ten BYU and Texas Tech go head to head.

After running the numbers of the week, the answer is an emphatic yes
The higher-ranked PASS team won over 81% of last week's games (43/10). Will this week be more upset-heavy?

College football PASS was hit or miss this weekend, seeing top 10 teams lose or sputter (as did the AP ranks).
Bright side: again outperformed the polling Top 25, and projected wins like New Mexico over UNLV and Oklahoma over Tennessee.

ESPN, what is this bit? Are you making fun of Utah people for not being able to spell or know anything about an opponent? Strange.

There should be a guy one each team whose only job is to fight. Like when the queen chooses a knight to fight in her name.

Feels like plenty of upsets today even if a couple comebacks favored the higher ranked team. Coming in, I had Duke/Clemson as the closest score of the day so that's looking pretty good!

This. This is the good stuff. Mainlining.
When a best-of-7 postseason series with the 2-3-2 format has been tied after 4 games, the team playing G5 on the road – before returning home for G6-7 – has gone on to win that series 35 of 61 times (57.4%)
In any best-of-7 series tied 2-2, the G5 winner has won the series 46 of 68 times (67.6%)

Knicks scored fewer points in the 2nd half than they did in the 2nd quarter.

I agree with Matt on Kansas. I had the Jayhawks picked to finish 7th in the Big XII the past 2 years, and they finished 7th and 6th. This year player efficiency per minute of their updated roster is back up at the top of the conference after two down years on preseason paper.

I'm tired of the Pete rose convo in general but if you're keeping him out of the hall for betting on baseball...you're going to have to start having some complicated conversations

And just like that, NM St. ties the game with under 2 minutes remaining. Living up to the billing!
And kicking off soon, #95 Missouri State @ #100 New Mexico State is incredibly close. The two are separated by just 0.067 PASS+ (Performance Against Strength of Schedule)

Two more CUSA football games tonight, both even closer matchups in performance margins than last night's WKU/La. Tech OT game. First:
#136 MTSU @ #131 Delaware. The Blue Hens just kicked a FG to go up 17-14 in the 2nd.

The men have sold their guitars and bought turntables. The men have sold their turntables and bought guitars. The men are buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing their computers out the window because they want to make something real. The men want to make a Yaz record.
People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.
