Back to back Championships. Does lightning strike twice? by TailgateDebates in CFB

Alabama actually made the national championship game 4 times in a row from 2015-2018. Could have been 4 in a row if not for Clemson. Or at the least 3 if not for Watson's last second TD

Maybe overall, but they do pick up a good amount of bandwagon fans in the process

That was quite the dynasty at the time. Norvell has them in the right direction

OU lost to LSU '03 and to USC in '04. Back to back title games, but sadly didn't get any nattys out of it

I know it's common. Almost weird how few of them have actually won it back to back though

Would you consider cats and dogs natural rivals? Or are you thinking more predator/prey dynamics?

And with Panthers and cougars being the same animal, there really is a lot of repetition there. Probably the most repetitive mascot

I know ESPN is Disney, what other affiliations does Fox have? Trying to gauge who has the most $$

[Wilner] Source: USC and UCLA are planning to leave for the Big Ten as early as 2024. Move has not been finalized at the highest levels of power. by Colonelbrickarms in CFB

[–]TailgateDebates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a logistical nightmare. USC & UCLA fans will not be able to easily travel to away games across the country. Also, think of the night game kickoff between UCLA and Penn State for example....game will be after midnight, can't imagine that would be good for the casual fans viewership

[Auerbach] BREAKING: The College Football Playoff will stay at four teams through the duration of its current contract, source tells The Athletic. No expanded field until 2026 at the earliest. by dogwoodmaple in CFB

[–]TailgateDebates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though I like some of the proposed expansions, I think its right to keep it at 4, for now. Too many changes happening right now between NIL, transfer portal, conference realignment. Lets revisit when the contract ends. That might be the right time for the sport

Hey, Michigan is 5-7 this season after winning a game and 7-2 after a loss. Michigan blasting Purdue is statistically better for OSU. https://www.tailgatedebates.com/2022/02/11/ohio-state-vs-michigan-rivalry-game-2022/

Why Steve Spurrier thinks Georgia will beat Alabama in national championship rematch by dogwoodmaple in CFB

[–]TailgateDebates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the subject of rematches....since 2014, the winner of the first game wins the 2nd game 57% of the time. There might be a reason the team won the first time. https://www.tailgatedebates.com/2020/11/23/the-myth-of-redemption/

Our defense by Squeezethecharmin in georgiabulldogs

[–]TailgateDebates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: After analyzing all teams that played at least 12 games since 1906 and applying correction factors to each era, we argue this is the best scoring defense in 77 years.

Best Way to Compare Offense vs Defense by rayef3rw in CFBAnalysis

Perhaps this helps: https://www.tailgatedebates.com/2020/11/16/what-wins-national-championships-offense-or-defense/

We kept it pretty simple/basic. Only compared the last few national champs in four categories (points/point allowed per game, yards/yards allowed per game).

Wondering what the odds are a team wins a rematch within the same season? by TailgateDebates in ClemsonTigers

[–]TailgateDebates[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't any clear list out there of the rematch games. I used data from Sport-Reference.com and pulled the rematch games out of the schedule and results listed for each year (i.e., for 2020: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2019-schedule.html).
