Dan annihilates the media elites who care more about their precious 15-second PR soundbites than raw, unfiltered college football passion. We're only through week two of the 2026 college football season, and already, the College Football Playoff picture has received a significant shake-up. One of the preseason favorites, the Oregon Ducks, suffered a shocking loss on the road to Oklahoma State, in a game where they gave up 554 yards defensively and an incredible 237 yards on the ground.

If Kevin Jennings rolls in the Tallahassee you know and they're throwing up 400 yards and four touchdowns, you can go ahead and start putting that Mike Norvell buyout plan together. Following a tumultuous two seasons for the Florida State football program, the school fired atheltic director Michael Alford on Monday morning. The decision comes after another lackluster performance from the Seminoles against SMU last week, that also saw the lights go out inside the stadium that should have been seen as a sign of things to come in Tallahassee.

And who could blame them? After all, it was a year that featured one of the most shocking upsets in college football history, with Appalachian State stunning Michigan in the Big House, and that was just the appetizer. In all, 62 ranked teams lost to lower ranked or completely unranked squads in 2007, and teams ranked No. 2 in one of the three major polls lost seven times in the final nine weeks of the season.

When you surround yourself with college football and make it part of your livelihood, you will no doubt hear and read every narrative under the sun with regard to the world's greatest sport. Most of them don't even deserve a second look and are baseless conspiracy theories, but a few exist in that uncanny realm between fact and fiction. One that has caught my eye comes from the perpetrators of the SEC is washed crowd, more specifically those who call out the program that has ruled the conference for the first half of this decade, the Georgia Bulldogs. I can't tell you how many times I've seen fans on social media and even college football talking heads run with the narrative that the Dawgs have lost their edge since paying players became legal .

Timothy Foster needed something to look forward to when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma last summer. The 35-year-old software developer, from upstate New York, knew he would have lots of time to kill while he recovered from his chemotherapy infusions, but what is there to do when you're laid up in bed all day? Yes, he had owned an NES and SNES in the '90s, but the last video game he had played in earnest was NCAA Football 14--a beloved 2013 college football simulator that was the final entry in a series that was discontinued following an arcane legal dispute between the powers that be in campus athletics and publisher EA Sports. But the landscape of college football has changed dramatically over the past few years, following a windfall of suddenly legal name, image, and likeness deals that freed up players to make money from outside sources. All this ultimately cleared a path for a revival of the one video game Foster ever truly loved.

An analytics revolution comes for every sport sooner or later. MLB had Moneyball in the early 2000s and has moved well beyond it in the years since. The NBA has used efficiency to all but kill the mid-range jump shot. Soccer has seen an influx of countless new ways to measure passes and scoring chances down to the finest detail. The NFL's change became most evident in 2018. Computer models that looked at thousands of games found an inefficiency: Coaches were being too conservative on fourth down, when teams can either punt the ball away or go for an all-or-nothing conversion.

Multiple brain injury criteria (BIC) are developed to quickly quantify brain injury risks after head impacts. These BIC originated from different types of head impacts (e.g., sports and car crashes) are widely used in risk evaluation. However, the accuracy of using the BIC on brain injury risk estimation across different types of head impacts has not been evaluated. Physiologically, brain strain is often considered the key parameter of brain injury. To evaluate the BIC's risk estimation accuracy across five datasets comprising different head impact types, linear regression was used to model 95% maximum principal strain, 95% maximum principal strain at the corpus callosum, and cumulative strain damage (15%) on each of 18 BIC respectively. The results show a significant difference in the relationship between BIC and brain strain across datasets, indicating the same BIC value may suggest different brain strain in different head impact types. The accuracy of brain strain regression is generally decreasing if the BIC regression models are fit on a dataset with a different type of head impact rather than on the dataset with the same type. Given this finding, this study raises concerns for applying BIC to estimate the brain injury risks for head impacts different from the head impacts on which the BIC was developed.
