    In honor of Texas A&M's latest dud, I crunched a bunch of numbers to try to figure out which team is college football's all-time bigger underachiever. It's another part math/part vibes exercise, so I'm sure you'll agree with every ranking! Gift link: www.nytimes.com/athletic/768...

    Not all field goals are created equal. 🏈 Texas A&M's David Olano (9.17) narrowly edges UAB's Jonah Delange (9.16) in Points Added Above Replacement (PAAR) through Week 6. Olano has just 9 attempts to Delange's 16. Who has been the most clutch kicker in CFB this season?

As the program counts them in its Wikipedia article, shared titles included, and listed under each conference’s current name (a Western Conference title of the 1900s counts as a Big Ten title); season pages use the name the conference had that year. A title the article files under a conference the team wasn’t in that season is listed under the one it was. Division titles include years the team tied for its division.
