We’re down to the final game. Jenny has locked in 1st place & her choice between Alabama & Ohio St in the Championship game.
An Orange Bowl win by UNC will give us a sibling showdown between Jenny and Matt.
If the favorite, Texas A&M, wins tonight, Vivian will represent the youngsters in the final against Jenny.

Fast-paced and surprising first half of the Sugar Bowl with Ohio State up 35-14 over Clemson!
Assuming the Buckeyes hold serve for the win (96.9% probability), Paden is eliminated and we are down to 5 heading into tomorrow’s final games: Jenny, Matt, Vivian, Alexander & Pop.
Here is a preview of how tomorrow plays out listed by probability. The couple instances with ties will go to the tie-breaker rules.
If Clemson defies the odds and wins the Sugar Bowl, then Paden & the 5 others remain alive and I will provide an update Saturday morning.

Happy New Year to all and 21st to Noah!!!!
Jenny heads in 2021 with a one game lead. 6 have been eliminated from a top 2 slot: Channe/Kyler, Ella, Gabby, Heather, Lance & Rhett. Newcomers Channe/Kyler were dealt a unique mathematical ti-breaker elimination with a win in the Armed Forces Bowl because Tulsa lost by less than 3 points.
Today’s 3 back-to-back games will narrow down the current field of 9.
We’re at halftime of the 1st game with Cincinnati upsetting Georgia 14 -10. Here are the scenarios for the Peach Bowl results.
We’ve upgraded our analytics on the Family Battle.
On the Standings (Family) page (link), you can now see the odds of each person winning ALL their remaining games per ESPN’s Football Power Index (see row 19 in the table). Here is the current snapshot with 8 games remaining.
After 3 games and 2 cancelations, all 15 teams are still in the running to make the championship game. We also have an unprecedented 9 way tie for first after the big 12 swept todays games. Going into the Cotton bowl, Heather, Rhett, Gabby, and the Channe & Kyler team are all on the hotseat. An OU win would officially eliminate Heather and a Florida win would eliminate Rhett, Gabby, and the Channe & Kyler team.
Everyone in the Family Battle was just given a win for the Music City bowl. The game was cancelled today because of C19 issues at Missouri.
The impact to the Friends Battle is different as each game is weighted differently. A decision on that front will come Monday.

Of course 2020 would bring us two scheduling firsts: (a) no overlapping game times and (b) more than 3 consecutive days with at least 2 games/day.
So, stock up on your favorite beverage & snacks and keep that Comfy Blanket Sweatshirt & phone charger handy while you enjoy as much college football as your heart desires & bedsores will allow.
