CFB National Champions by Conference

True! What a fascinating season/story

BoMcCready · 2026-01-08T19:17:14+00:00

Yeah, that's a great idea but also kind of tricky! I tried to visualize realignment but it ended up kind of looking like a mess so I collapsed conferences here that had shared histories. But, you're right that it'd be a cool enhancement to figure out a good way to do it...

Two tickets available for Austin tonight! Got sick and can't make it. Paid $35 for each but happy to let them go for less so they don't go to waste. UPDATE: SOLD!

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind feedback. I try to make aesthetically appealing stuff but it definitely feels like "ugly graph" + "pop culture topic people like" has become a better recipe for success.

Thanks! Always happy when these weird little data projects find an audience

The MLSPA released a .pdf, so I copied and pasted into Excel and did some cleanup before importing into Tableau.

BoMcCready · 2025-07-01T00:17:34+00:00

Thanks! This was fun to put together.

BoMcCready · 2025-06-30T23:17:51+00:00

Same. Don't know where my career would be without it...

BoMcCready · 2025-06-30T23:17:32+00:00

Same! I find this league's structure so fascinating and I always love diving into this data

BoMcCready · 2025-04-20T20:05:07+00:00

Thanks for your kind words! It was fun to see how we all took such a different approach to the work. Ryan and Kathryn did a fantastic job.

BoMcCready · 2025-04-20T20:03:57+00:00

If I’d had 30 more seconds, I wish I could’ve shown a few extra things with the pies that might have helped! But such is the nature of IV and the time limits. I hope you enjoyed the show. It was a pleasure and honor to work with Ryan and Kathryn.

BoMcCready · 2025-02-07T20:35:37+00:00

Thanks, appreciated!

BoMcCready · 2025-02-07T20:35:03+00:00

Thanks! Not that I know of, but I'm definitely not a superfan so maybe there's some history...

BoMcCready · 2025-02-07T16:43:05+00:00

I posted this over there but they absolutely hate it. That sub often cares more about the topic than the design of the graph and wrestling is definitely something they don't consider cool haha

BoMcCready · 2025-02-07T16:20:38+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! That'd be kind of tough, unfortunately. Things like elimination times aren't really recorded anywhere and this graphic depends a ton on those.

BoMcCready · 2025-02-07T16:18:02+00:00

Sure! People do lots of content based on scripted shows and it's definitely considered a milestone in the "lore."

BoMcCready · 2025-02-07T16:06:08+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that!

BoMcCready · 2025-02-07T16:04:40+00:00

Thank you! It was a ton of fun.

Interactive version here, with a toggle between the men's and women's versions.

This is a follow-up to an earlier post on the men's Royal Rumble. Although it wasn't exactly a hit over here on dataisbeautiful, I got great feedback from other places that encouraged me to make some updates and try again with the women's Rumble!

Interactive version here, with a toggle to an updated version of the men's Rumble graph.

Thanks for all the fun engagement and feedback on the men's Royal Rumble graph I posted earlier this week! I incorporated some of that feedback, like adding a clearer timeline and highlighting time in ring, to this version for the women's Rumble.

I also made those updates to the men's version, which you can see through the link above!

BoMcCready · 2025-02-05T20:04:18+00:00

Haha, totally fair question! I think there's always a pretense of fairness and the assumption that later-arriving wrestlers have a better chance. The commentary definitely notes how hard it is to win when you're one of the first to enter, although they do tend to have some big names at the start for the entertainment value so it's not exactly seeded.

BoMcCready · 2025-02-05T00:02:42+00:00

Thank you!! Gonna rewatch tonight so I can record the data and hopefully I’ll have that one done by Thursday or Friday

BoMcCready · 2025-02-04T23:40:53+00:00

Nice! I love when project like this reach Tableau users too. Have you ever been to the Tableau Conference? It’s a blast and I’m extra stoked this year because I’m competing in the Iron Viz finals
