In Conversation: The College Football Nerds and Their Analytical Model Disagree on the Winner of The Game

On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love. On today’s episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with one of our regular and smartest guests, Josh from the College Football Nerds. In this episode, Josh puts on his big fancy lawyer hat to walk us through some of what's going on with the lunacy surrounding TTUN's sign-stealing scandal before pivoting into analytics mode to explain why the model favors the Harboys, even if he is going in a different direction. The pair discuss J.J. McCarthy's regression to the mean since the sing-stealing scheme was exposed, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s importance in the game, and much more.
