That list would be infinitely long.  Are we confident its creator would be objective for both sides for every game?
I'll leave that to you, the undisputed stats guy

That's our new Secretary of Education's husband, Vince McMahon. 
 That sentence is unconscionable.

Modern college football
yup. just is what it is. sucks cause as a fan you really want to see a great player play. But can’t blame him, he’s got little to gain if he plays and lot to lose if he gets injured.

well, apparently the Department of education is going away being absorbed by other departments so She might not have much to do.

I hate all these "since 2000" statements.  It's not that it happened in 2000, it's that official college football stats were barely a thing until then.

Baseball statkeepers did a better job in 1924 than college football ones did in 1994.  That PLUS the NCAA having access to tons of during-the-game stats being kept, but not bothering to incorporate them as official.

It's maddening for people like me.

since 2000 isn't that impressive to old guys like me

24 years is a long time but,........... not a REAL long time

44 years, 50+ years OK
