Another college football season has come to an end! Myles ran away with this one and ended Alex’s two year run, though at least Alex can claim selecting LSU. Katie had a nice mid-season surge but ultimately couldn’t catch up to Myles.

The boxplots below give a little more detail to how our groups of teams fared. Myles and Katie’s median scores are the same, but Katie had a few teams dragging her overall score down a bit. For your viewing pleasure, please see the boxplot on the right side. Now that’s what I call consistency!

I think looking back at the draft is always an insightful exercise. I threw a line down as an estimate for what a team is expected to score based on draft position, and the dots that are labeled refer to teams that either over/under-performed expectations. Myles had a couple of good surprises late, while Katie can point to dud picks in Syracuse and Northwestern as holding her back. Most regretful, of course, is the one-two punch of Michigan and Texas at the first round turn. Woof.

The chart below that shows the points scored by our collective teams by each round. It goes as expected to start the draft, but then it gets weird starting in Rounds 5/6. I guess that’s where all the surprise teams came from. Round 8 was even more valuable than Round 4! Wow.

Last plot! The rules require us to take teams from every power-5 conference, but how’d we do in picking within each? The SEC ended up slightly ahead of the Big 10, thanks to LSU’s extra championship points. The Pac-12 had 9 teams selected, same as the SEC and Big 10, but their average points were below the Big 12 and ACC (and dangerously close to Other!). We can thank Arizona, UCLA, and Stanford for that.
