What the Arizona State game is worth

How fan mood is read

Fan mood compares what Colorado fans wrote in r/CFB game threads with every FBS fanbase with enough talk that week. A week runs Monday to Sunday and is named for the game in it. The read is redrawn 300 times from the same commenters, re-ranking every fanbase each time. Sour or all in means the read sat in the bottom or top fifth in at least 70 of every 100 draws; on the sour side or on the bright side, in the bottom or top two fifths in at least 80; anything less settled is middle of the pack. A bright label also needs more positive talk than negative, and a sour one the reverse. Brighter or sourer than usual compares the week with the team's own earlier weeks, after taking out how every fanbase read that week. Each dot sits at the read's rank that week. A week read before these labels keeps the word it was first given, the fifth it sat in (sour, uneasy, mixed, hopeful or all in). Season averages are the mean of a season's reads, in fifths from sour to all in, and seasons before 2026 were read from each week's wider talk, so a comparison across seasons is rough.

What the hell was with Georgia Tech calling that timeout when we were trying to spike it after the big run? Thanks I guess. Let us set up the game winning TD play

One fan believes the team’s offensive line is poorly managed

The coaching isn't great right now, but all of the other position groups are playing well enough to win these games. It really is pretty much squarely on the quarterback.

One fan argues they should be lined up differently

Whatever youth coach put miller as a wide receiver did us an injustice
