Here’s a college football story via the Associated Press:
The executive director of the new 12-team College Football Playoff confirmed what many already knew — that while wins and the age-old “eye test” will play roles in determining who makes the bracket, strength of schedule could be a deciding factor in some of the selection committee’s deliberations.
Rich Clark held a call with reporters Wednesday to go over the details of how the 12-team bracket will be decided. The first list of the committee’s weekly top 25 rankings comes out Tuesday, with the brackets to be locked in using the list revealed Dec. 8.
“Record matters, but we’re not trying to pick the most deserving teams, we’re trying to pick the best teams,” Clark said, a statement likely to be parsed for weeks. “This committee’s got to look at their entire body of work. They’re going to consider record, of course. … But they’re going to look at strength of schedule, they’re going to look at head-to-head competition, how teams perform against each other,” and a handful of other factors.
Last year, when the bracket included only four teams, there was an uproar over the committee’s decision to take Alabama with one loss over undefeated Florida State. Even with an expanded bracket that gives automatic spots to the five best conference champions, it’s hard to imagine the committee’s decisions won’t be criticized in some way.
One new complication this year is that the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12 all have done away with divisions — a byproduct of conference realignment that’s designed to ensure teams will play all their conference opponents within a handful of years.
Having 16- and 18-team conferences also mean it’s no sure thing that top contenders will play each other this year. For example, surprising No. 13 Indiana (8-0) doesn’t have regular-season games against the other two Big Ten teams that are currently undefeated — No. 1 Oregon and No. 3 Penn State. And No. 9 BYU (8-0) isn’t scheduled to meet two of its closest pursuers, No. 11 Iowa State and No. 23 Colorado, in the Big 12.
Clark portrayed strength of schedule — details of which will be calculated by an analytics firm called SportSource Analytics — as one of the best ways for the 13-person selection committee to figure out which teams are better than others, especially when it comes to deciding between closely matched teams.
“It helps us to look at teams in a more fair manner,” Clark said. “If a team rolls through a schedule that’s a very easy schedule, it’s kind of hard to judge them against a team that lost two games but has a really tough schedule.”
A refresher on the 12-team bracket
—The selection committee will rank the top 25 teams every week starting Tuesday, with its final list, released the day after the Dec. 7 conference title games, determining what the bracket will look like.
—The four top-ranked conference winners all will earn first-round byes, regardless of where they’re ranked. The next-best conference winner will receive a spot in the bracket even if it is ranked outside the top 12.
—Opening round of playoffs involving teams 5-12 are on campuses on Dec. 20-21. The title game is Jan. 20 in Atlanta.
What the bracket would look like based on this week’s AP Top 25
The selection committee will not follow the AP or other polls when it comes out with its rankings. But just for fun, here’s what the bracket would look like if it were based on the AP Top 25 that came out Sunday, and if the higher ranked teams all won their conference titles:
—5 vs. 12: Boise State at Penn State (Boise State of the Mountain West would qualify as the fifth-best conference champ despite being ranked 15)
—6 vs. 11: Clemson at Ohio State (Buckeyes routed Tigers 49-28 in semifinals in 2021)
—7 vs. 10: Texas A&M at Texas (Teams meet Nov. 30 in regular season, but bracketing rules would not prevent a rematch)
—8 vs. 9: Notre Dame at Tennessee (Irish are overcoming that bad loss to Northern Illinois in the AP poll; will the committee be as forgiving?)
Byes:
1 — Oregon (Would play quarterfinal game in Rose Bowl)
2 — Georgia (Would play quarterfinal in Sugar Bowl)
3 — Miami (Peach Bowl)
4 — BYU (Fiesta Bowl)

Nevada 2024 Trump-Harris Polls: Independents Will Propel Harris To Victory, Renowned Forecaster Predicts
Topline
Vice President Kamala Harris will eke out a narrow win against former President Donald Trump in the crucial swing state, veteran journalist Jon Ralston, who is revered for the accuracy of his presidential race predictions in the state, forecasted Monday, citing independent voters in the state he thinks will push Harris over the edge.
Key Facts
Harris will win 48.5% of the vote, Trump will win 48.2% and 3.3% of voters will select “none of these candidates” on their ballots, Ralston—CEO and editor of the nonprofit Nevada Independent who has a perfect record of predicting the outcome of presidential races in the state—wrote Monday, calling this year’s election “the hardest since I started doing this.”
Ralston’s prediction comes as Trump and Harris are virtually tied in other Nevada polls—FiveThirtyEight’s weighted polling average shows Trump with a 0.4-point edge.
Harris and Trump are tied at 48% in the final pre-election Emerson College/The Hill poll out Monday (margin of error 3.3 points), and Harris is up three points, 49%-46%, in a New York Times/Siena poll of likely Nevada voters released Sunday (margin of error 3.5 points).
Harris is also ahead 51%-47% in a survey of likely voters released last week by the Cooperative Election Study, a massive set of nationwide polls backed by universities (933 respondents).
Meanwhile, Trump is up 48%-47% in a CNN/SSRS survey released Tuesday (margin of error 4.6 points).
Harris also leads 48.8%-48.3%—essentially a tie—among likely voters in a Bloomberg/Morning Consult survey released Oct. 23 (margin of error 5 points), she trails Trump 47%-46% in an AARP survey of likely voters released Oct. 22 (margin of error 4), while a Wall Street Journal poll out Oct. 11 (margin of error 4) shows Trump with an unusually large five-point advantage.
Nevada—which is the smallest swing state, with just six electoral votes—has voted for Democratic presidential candidates in every election since 2008, and President Joe Biden beat Trump there by 2.4 points in 2020.
Surprising Fact
A plurality of voters, 30%, identify as independents in Nevada. Ralston predicts they will swing toward Harris, citing a new Democrat-backed law that automatically registers voters as nonpartisan at DMVs if they don’t choose a political party.
Tangent
The GOP has a lead in mail ballots that have been returned so far, raising their hopes of retaking the state. “Republicans are looking better in the early count than they ever have,” Jon Ralston, CEO and editor of the Nevada Independent who is highly respected for his early voting predictions, told Vox on Tuesday, a week before the election. Ralston said there are some indicators younger voters will cast their ballots later and that independents will favor Harris, however, which could swing the vote toward Democrats.
What To Watch For
The state does not release results until after the last voter in line when polls close at 10 p.m. EST casts their ballot. Mail-in ballots can be counted 15 days before Election Day, which could lead to quicker results than in 2020, but a state law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they are received by Nov. 9 could elongate the process. The majority of Nevada voters cast their ballots by mail.
Big Number
56%. That’s the share of Latino voters who identified with the Democratic Party in 2016, compared to 49% who do in 2024, according to a September NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC poll.
Key Background
Support for Harris among Latino voters will be crucial to her success in both Arizona and Nevada, where Hispanic and Latino people make up about 30% of the population and polls show she has lost support among the key demographic. Biden carried Latino voters in Nevada over Trump 61% to 35% in 2020, according to CNN exit polls, while Harris leads Trump 56% to 40% in Nevada, according to an October USA Today/Suffolk University poll of Latino voters. Harris is particularly struggling with Latino men, according to the survey that found 53% of male Latino voters ages 18-34 in Nevada support Trump and 40% support Harris, while 53% of Latino men ages 35-49 in the state support Trump and 39% support Harris. Immigration and inflation top the list of Latino voter concerns in Nevada, according to a USA Today/Suffolk poll, which found 37% said inflation was their top concern and 17% said immigration.
Tangent
The Harris campaign made a last-minute appeal to Hispanic men in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Nevada this month with a “Hombres con Harris” tour featuring members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, including Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who is running against Trump ally Kari Lake for the Senate in Arizona. The tour will include stops at Latino-owned small businesses, sports bars, restaurants, union halls and other community venues frequented by Latino men, her campaign said.
