Here are two examples from the last two Penn State games using a bowling style scorecard by frame and a baseball style line score

Trying to measure schedule similarity in college football
For example, while Penn State and Ohio State play each other this season, the teams only share two common opponents despite both being in the Big Ten
Plus, how schedule similarity has declined over time using a sample of seasons

Are priors still useful for preseason projection models? FEI projections (built entirely from prior season data) are certainly going to miss on the outliers, but most program ratings are pretty stable year-to-year, notably more so with defenses than with offenses and special teams units.

In-Market Entitlement Required is still a stunning error message from MLB TV every time I see it
