On this episode of The Football Analytics Show, Dave Bartoo, the CFB Matrix, joins me to talk about his college football analytics and predictions.  Among other topics, we get into:

• How he advises administrators` on hiring coaches
• The college football coach that survived despite winning 3 games less than he should have
• 2 college football bowl games with value
• Whether any team can catch Alabama and Clemson atop college football
• His rule that Alabama broke in making the playoff this year

While Dave is always entertaining, the last segment is particularly hilarious.  Also, I debuted a new non-sports questions at the end, which led to an interesting discussion.

You want to win your 2018 bowl pool.  But you probably don’t have the time to research all 41 games that ESPN has in its contest.

I can help.  In this episode of The Football Analytics Show, I discuss 3 tips for winning your bowl pool.

To explain the first tip, I use Steph Curry as an example.  The second tip relates whether you want to enter a pool with confidence points or not.

The third tip asks you to think contrarian.  I offer Virginia Tech versus Cincinnati as an example, and argue that you must consider context in making these selections.
