if they added his Fiesta bowl stats, it may have dropped him a few spots

This would be so wonderful, for so many wonderful reasons.

Texas/OU efforts to join the SEC a year early in '24 has stalled out. Not going to be in the SEC til '25 at earliest now.

I asked chatgpt what was the best college football team of all-time.  This is it's answer:


Strange that it listed teams at all, but also so many Bama and OSU teams.  Is this the beginning of the end?

[OrangeAfroMan]

And this is it's response when I clicked "regenerate response."  Much more general/vague:

This chatGPT is limited and not as fun as it could be.  Anyways, when asked who would win out of 91 Miami and 91 Washington, it told me UW finished 4th in the rankings.  
Lies!
.
But a more interesting error occurred when I asked it to tell me about the 2012 Gators:

So it's trained to give a BS general, positive answer??  Unimpressive.

Recently started using a chatGPT inspired offshoot called RYTR. It's not quite as "street smart" in the sense you have to calibrate its variety of prompts more in order to trigger good faith answers:

College football rankings 2023: 10 teams with National Championship potential coming off National Signing Day (247sports.com)

This is click bait, but the list includes FSU, PSU, LSU, USC, Clemson, and Texas.  

Aside from the other usual candidates, what is a dark horse out there?  I had UCLA last season as a team that could do better than expected (and they did for a bit).  Nobody had TCU of course.

There often is a Washington or MSU that gets in the CFP, well, somewhat often.

just clickbait

if they had done their research, they'd know what was going on in Madison and included the Badgers

Interesting that there is no Texas school on the list.

Urban Meyer has reached the top of the sport at multiple stops, giving him a unique perspective on the landscape of college football. During an appearance on the All Things Covered podcast with Bryant McFadden and Patrick Peterson, Meyer was asked to speak from that perspective and rank the top five jobs in college football. He named, in order: Georgia, Ohio State, a tie between Florida and Florida State, LSU and USC. 

...

"Georgia, within three or four hours of that campus, you stumble over players," Meyer said, adding "here's the interesting thing about Georgia, I think think the high school coaching is as good as anywhere in the country."

...

Meyer went on discuss LSU being a top job because of its hold on talent from Louisiana, joking that he didn't even take recruiting trips to the state because he knew his out-of-state staff didn't stand a chance. He put Florida and Florida State in a tie because of the comparable recruiting footprint, and then noted USC for his fifth place selection, highlighting the talent in Southern California in terms of producing future pros. 

...

"Draw a circle within 300 miles of that campus," Meyer said of USC, "and then go check the NFL Draft."
