Episode notes
Talent Has Become Widely Distributed
- NIL and the transfer portal have meaningfully spread elite high school talent across more programs than ever before.
- The top-tier gap compressed so many more schools now sign five-star recruits compared to the pre-NIL era.
Elite Programs Still Elite, But Not Exclusive
- Georgia and Alabama still recruit well but can't hoard top players like they did pre-NIL.
- The top players per class remain strong while overall distribution tightens across many programs.
Bet The Standout Team In Tight Conferences
- Lay Ohio State minus four in the Big Ten title because they rate clearly above others in Chip's model.
- Trust process-based ratings when a team stands out from a tight cluster of contenders.
