College football is always changing always evolving. With expanded playoffs it seems conference “support” has waned across the board because 12 teams expands so many options where as when only 2 (BCS) or 4 you really needed that top conference (SEC) to ensure one loss could slide in.


I still strongly believe SEC is clearly the toughest and fiercest conference overall. But objectively the B10 has won back to back. Obviously hope this ends with a Dawgs National Championship soon of course but wonder if this is a small blip (and SEC wins next 5) or is a change we don’t realize

I was looking to see who made best use of the portal, also what players have exceeded expectations, who made the mid major jump successfully, etc.

Vanderbilt did a great job, Pope at UK has some players (Butler, Oweh) exceeding their previous highs…

Broken down by scoring…this season first, last season second
