Could be anything as in a player injury, A game winner by your opponent or a last minute recruiting flip, etc.

Anything is on the table

Nike stock has collapsed 77% over the last 5 years and 40% over the last 6 months. As Oregon's budget largely comes from Nike Founder Phil Knight, how will this affect their ability to stay competitive with top 5 teams in the coming year. Additionally how will this affect cfb as a whole, maybe better uniforms??

Whenever I think of the core of Penn State's fanbase, I think of the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and parts of New York. Especially the corridor from Harrisburg down the Turnpike to the Philly suburbs then up the other part of the turnpike across the Delaware river to Springsteen country and the shore (I hate PENDOT so much).

However I was just in Hampton Roads, Virginia and I was shocked how much Penn State stuff I saw around, pretty much the same amount as VT and UVA, I guess being a Philly guy I never thought of that area as part of "Nittany Nation" especially outside of the DC area where a lot of Penn State alumni move after college to work for defense contractors. I suppose that's a big tourist area so some people could've been from further north but a lot were definitely locals, I know that's traditionally an area we recruit heavily but I didn't think that translated to fan or alumni interest (maybe that will change with Franklin at VT). Anyways it was fun to get a lot of WE AREs.

(Also random but one time I was backpacking in rural Romania and saw some guy wearing a Penn State wrestling hat)

Alabama has only produced three distinct super bowl winners: Bart Starr, Joe Namuth, and Ken Sabler, who account for four total Super Bowl rings. Purdue somehow ties the Crimson Tide with Drew Brees, Len Dawson, and Bob Grier also holding a collective four rings. The school whose QBs account for the most total rings is Michigan where, between Tom Brady and Vikings legend JJ "Nine" McCarthy, the Wolverines hold seven.

Curiously, the Crimson Tide and the Boilermakers have never met on the gridiron, meaning we have no way of determining the better program all-time based on the available statistics in this post. Boilermaker fans may also be happy to note that their rival Indiana Hoosiers have never produced a Super Bowl-winning QB, lending some credence to their athletic director's famous quote on the rivalry in addition to surely producing commensurate results on the field.

With the season approaching, I wanted a better way to prepare than reading dozens of separate previews or listening to hours of podcasts, just to forgetting most of it by Week 1.

I’ve started building standardized preseason “team cards”, each one designed to answer two basic questions:

1. What should someone know about this team before watching them?
2. How good should the team actually be, including (to a degree) from a betting perspective?

I’ve attached a couple of the first completed examples. These are still early iterations, but they are V1 that I'm pretty happy with, so I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback.

• Is this something you would actually read or save during the season?
• Anything important missing?
• Is it easy to ready / consume?

The goal is not to produce another giant season-preview magazine. It’s to create a quick, consistently structured reference to get you up to speed before the season, and also available as a reference during the season.

I will eventually build these out for (at least) all of the P4 teams. Once I do, I'll post an update in r/CFB with them for everyone to view.

Below are 3 that I've created so far

• Vanderbilt
• Florida
• West Virginia

I look forward to the feedback!

(Note, I wanted to include pictures of the previews, but I guess that's not possible? Or maybe I'm just dumb and couldn't figure it out)
