Nothing so clearly screams college football as Rivalry Week, when giant axes, territorial cups, and ruby-adorned Gaelic war clubs crash through our television screens. The traveling trophy game distills what's loved most about the sport and pumps it directly into our veins.

At the same time, trophy games are reduced to mere data points by a proliferating sports analytics sector and the Playoff committee, which in theory gleans insight from it. Composite rankings, whether dished in Tuesday night dictums, S&P+ ratings, or your fave power index of choice, are woven into every corner of modern college football.

And yet these two had never collided. Until now, Program A and Program B have been allowed to believe their own cherished trophy game is the best in the land (or at least not the worst). This is unacceptable. Modern America demands a pecking order. And statistics better be part of it.
