Ruiz suffered a knee injury, and there is no timetable for return.
Cade Cote
OL
Questionable
Foot
Cote has sat out the last two games with a foot injury, and it is unknown if he will play against Utah on Saturday.
Injury data lifted from: sports-reference.com Keys to the game: The overarching theme will be experience vs. youth. Utah has a deeply experienced offense and defense, while ASU's younger players have surprised many this year. With both teams currently at 5-1 this game will go a long way in determining the Pac 12 south champion. The quarterback battle will be electric. Tyler Huntley has proven to be an efficient disseminator of the football, boasting the top QBR in the conference and is among the nation's most accurate QBs (though takes fewer attempts overall). Jayden Daniels is ASU's true freshman starter and is quite possibly the best true freshman QB this year, having confidence and football IQ far above the norm for his age. Who do you think wins? Utah is currently favored by 14 points, and will be possibly the most balanced team that ASU faces this year. The Utes maintain a near 50-50 ratio of run and pass, with Zack Moss being one of the best running backs nation-wide, and Huntley being one of the most accurate passers nationwide. While ASU's offensive line has done well this year, especially for starting 2 freshman, they will likely struggle against Utah's effective and deep defensive line. Do you think the favorite will cover the spread? The line started at ASU +12.5 and has since risen to 14. This seems too high for many. While the Utes have the capability to score that many, the question is "will they?" Additionally, the weather for Saturday evening looks poor, which may dampen the overall scoring. Be careful betting on this one, it has all the makings of the under and ASU covering the spread Which player(s) are you most interested to watch? Again, the QB battle will be fun to watch. Also, watch for Eno Benjamin and Zack Moss, as they are the conference's two top running backs. Also watch for ASU's Brandon Aiyuk against Utah CB Jaylon Johnson. Let's talk football!

A big project here that has been underway for a bit, with some tweaking as needed. I only made trades in the first round. Any trades you see are reflective of first round deals. There's usually a handful of them, so I tried to really push for trades, rather than a take a less realistic approach to it and be super conservative about. Additionally, I added a few 3rd round compensatory picks, based on the projections from over the cap.
FIRST ROUND
1.1 - Cincinnati Bengals - QB Joe Burrow (LSU). Don't need too much explanation here. Burrow is the best QB in this draft, perhaps even the best player, given how Chase Young was a bit quiet against Michigan & Clemson. Bringing him back to Ohio is too good. 1.2 - Washington Redskins - EDGE Chase Young (Ohio State). Another very easy pick, as Young has the potential to step into the NFL as a game changer from the first snap. Explosive, smart, and incredible hands, he has franchise changing potential. 1.3 - TRADE: Los Angeles Chargers - QB Tua Tagavailoa (Alabama). Miami could perhaps outbid the Chargers, but I don't see Miami wanting to give up too much of their stockpile for one player, especially given how many needs the Dolphins have. Thus, their #6 pick, a 3rd, and a 2021 1st round pick to Detroit for LAC to get a QB who could get them back to the playoffs immediately. 1.4 - New York Giants - OT Andrew Thomas (Georgia). This feels like such a good fit. Thomas is incredibly powerful, and fits the MO of the Giants well, building a powerful run game behind Saquon Barkley. 1.5 - Miami Dolphins - QB Justin Herbert (Oregon). According to reports, the Dolphins have done the most work on Herbert, and with the Chargers jumping up for Tua, the Dolphins choose to tap Herbert as their new starting QB, and hopefully fill out the rest of their needs with their massive stockpile of picks. 1.6 TRADE: Detroit Lions - DT Derrick Brown (Auburn). The Lions move back and still have their pick of Brown or Okudah, the two most popular names here. Ultimately, I went with Brown, as Brown can solve both their struggles stopping the run, and provide an interior pass rush. 1.7 Carolina Panthers - CB Jeff Okudah (Ohio State). The Panthers are probably hoping to get Brown, as his explosiveness is unreal, but Okudah could be an excellent piece to Matt Rhule's new defense, with his lockdown coverage ability. 1.8 TRADE: New York Jets - OT Tristan Wirfs (Iowa). As the Cardinals debate OL vs. WR, the Jets ensure they land a top OT by offering them their 3rd round pick and a future 6th round pick. The Cardinals accept, and the Jets get Sam Darnold some much needed protection. 1.9 Jacksonville Jaguars - WR Jerry Jeudy (Alabama). A great spot for the Jaguars, as Jeudy is arguably the best player left on the board, and also fills a big need for an offensive playmaker. Whether Nick Foles or Gardner Minshew starts for the Jags next season, Jeudy will make their lives easier. 1.10 Cleveland Browns - OT Jedrick Wills (Alabama). With Cleveland a sure bet to take a tackle, the Jets hopped them to get their choice. The Browns still take Wills, who has the athleticism to play either side, but either way is a big upgrade for Cleveland, as they attempt to rebuild their offensive line. 1.11 TRADE: Arizona Cardinals - WR CeeDee Lamb (Oklahoma). With their decision now made for them, the Cardinals take perhaps the biggest playmaker on the board. Lamb is an exceptional fit for Kingsbury's passing attack, and he should give them a replacement for Larry Fitzgerald, whenever he chooses to retire. 1.12 Las Vegas Raiders - LB/S Isaiah Simmons (Clemson). With a big need to improve the speed of their LB spot, the Raiders take Simmons, which also fits nicely with Mayhew's affinity for Clemson players. Simmons' versatility is perhaps the best among any player in this draft. 1.13 TRADE: Philadelphia Eagles - CB Kristian Fulton (LSU). With teams like Dallas, Jacksonville, and Miami ahead of them, the Eagles act promptly to get the cornerback of their choosing. Sending their 2nd round pick and a 2021 day three pick to Indy, the Eagles land an elite cover corner in Fulton. 1.14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DT Javon Kinlaw (South Carolina). With the top 3 quarterbacks gone, the Bucs opt to do the smart thing, and take the disruptive DT from South Carolina. If they retain Barrett, this could be quite the deadly pass rush next season. 1.15 Denver Broncos - WR Henry Ruggs III (Alabama). The Broncos could use some speed to compliment Courtland Sutton at WR. Pairing the two of them should give second-year QB Drew Lock a promising group of pass catchers, as he attempts to bring the Broncos back to the playoffs. 1.16 Atlanta Falcons - EDGE A.J. Epenesa (Iowa). Almost too good to be true for the Falcons, as they get the second best pass rusher at 16 without having to move up. Thankfully the board falls well to them, and Epenesa gives them a powerful pass rushing presence to boost their DL. 1.17 Dallas Cowboys - S Grant Delpit (LSU). This pick seems almost too trendy, but that's because it's just a fantastic fit. Delpit's stock dropped a bit due to some poor tackling, but his ability to make plays all around the field is still unmatched at the safety position. A great fit in Dallas. 1.18 Miami Dolphins (via PIT) - OT Mekhi Becton (Louisville). The next tackle off the board comes to Miami, as the Dolphins need to rebuild this unit in a massive way. And what better way than to add a massive pass protector like Becton, who can keep Herbert clean for years to come. 1.19 Las Vegas Raiders (via CHI) - WR Tee Higgins. Wouldn't it be nice to grab a QB here Bears fans? Instead, the Raiders add a weapon on the outside in Higgins, whose elite body control allows him to come down with some insane catches. He gives the Raiders the outside weapon they're searching for. 1.20 Jacksonville Jaguars (via LAR) - CB Trevon Diggs (Alabama). The Jaguars could use a corner to play across from Bouye, and Diggs has elite size, and the ability to be a stud for them. 1.21 TRADE: Indianapolis Colts - EDGE Yetur Gross-Matos (Penn State). I'd love to see the Colts target Arik Armstead in free agency to improve their pass rush, but if they don't, grabbing a high potential pass rusher like YGM would be an excellent move, especially after trading back for more picks. 1.22 Buffalo Bills - WR Laviska Shenault (Colorado). Shenault can make plays in so many different ways. He'd give OC Brian Daboll and QB Josh Allen a major boost with his play making. 1.23 New England Patriots - EDGE K'Lavon Chaisson (LSU). The Patriots would be best not using this on a tight end, as they are slow developers in their first seasons. Instead, go sign Hunter Henry, and then draft a pass rusher like Chaisson to help your defense continue to disrupt opposing offenses. 1.24 New Orleans Saints - LB Kenneth Murray (Oklahoma). The Saints could use some help in the middle of their defense, and Murray can make plays from sideline to sideline, a very well-rounded player. 1.25 Minnesota Vikings - CB C.J. Henderson (Florida). Death, taxes, Vikings drafting 1st round corners. Though this time, the need for one is very clear, given the potential exodus of corners they could have in free agency. Henderson has the ability to be a lockdown corner in Mike Zimmer's defense. 1.26 Miami Dolphins (via HOU) - RB D'Andre Swift (Georgia). Fans usually hate running backs in the first round, but the value of Swift here, compared to reaching on a pass rusher or guard here, is fantastic. He's a dynamic back, with play making ability both as a runner and as a pass catcher. 1.27 TRADE: Tennessee Titans - EDGE Curtis Weaver (Boise State) - The Titans hop ahead of the Ravens, landing the pass rushing OLB of their choice in Weaver. A strong pass rusher with plenty of moves, he and Harold Landry would form a scary good young duo in Tennessee. 1.28 Baltimore Ravens - WR Justin Jefferson (LSU) - Rather than reach for an edge rusher, the Ravens add Jefferson, whose electrifying season was a big part of why LSU are the national champions. He can help Lamar Jackson in a lot of ways, and is a pretty willing blocker in the run game. 1.29 TRADE: Seattle Seahawks - OT Lucas Niang (TCU) - Picking up a 2021 3rd round pick to swap with the Titans, the Seahawks use this pick to grab Niang, and give Russell Wilson some more protection, an upgrade over Ifedi in Seattle. 1.30 Green Bay Packers - WR Jalen Reagor (TCU) - Back to back Horned Frogs at the end of the first round, as the Packers add a big time weapon to their offense. Reagor's ability to take the top off of defenses would be a huge boost for Rodgers. 1.31 Kansas City Chiefs - RB Travis Etienne (Clemson) - Wanted to give the Chiefs some defensive help, but nothing stood out as a great fit. Instead, the Chiefs take the best player left on the board in Etienne, and continue to add elite weapons to an already dangerous offense. 1.32 TRADE: Carolina Panthers - QB Jordan Love (Utah State). The 49ers are low on picks in this draft, so a trade back to replenish their ammo would be great. And the Panthers land themselves Love, who can develop under Rhule and new Panthers OC Joe Brady, sending a 4th and a 7th round pick to the 49ers in return.
SECOND ROUND
2.1 Cincinnati Bengals - OT Josh Jones (Houston). Now that they have their franchise QB, they need to protect their franchise QB. With Jonah Williams added in last year, the Bengals add a long, athletic pass protector in Jones. 2.2 Indianapolis Colts (via WAS) - WR K.J. Hamler (Penn State). The Colts used their first pick to add defensive help, and now this pick turns into the speedy Hamler to help the offense. 2.3 Detroit Lions - CB A.J. Terrell (Clemson). After taking a DT in the first round, the Lions land a great fit in Terrell to give them some needed cornerback help. 2.4 New York Giants - EDGE Zack Baun (Wisconsin). Continuing to build the team from the inside out, the Giants add an excellent pass rusher in Baun, who has risen immensely since last season. 2.5 Los Angeles Chargers - OT Austin Jackson (USC). Like the Bengals, the Chargers need to find protection for their new signal caller, and this comes in the local product out of USC. 2.6 TRADE: San Francisco 49ers - CB Jeff Gladney (TCU). After moving out of the first round, the 49ers add extra picks and now select a cornerback to boost their outstanding defense. 2.7 Miami Dolphins - G Soloman Kindley (Georgia). Miami needs to take multiple offensive linemen in the first two days of the draft, and they so here with a strong interior guard in Kindley. 2.8 Arizona Cardinals - DT Raekwon Davis (Alabama). After adding CeeDee Lamb in the first, the Cardinals add a long, powerful DT to give a boost to their defense, rather than reach on OL here. 2.9 Cleveland Browns - S Xavier McKinney (Alabama). The Browns should have plenty of opportunities to fill their biggest needs with elite prospects, and they do exactly that by adding McKinney here. 2.10 Jacksonville Jaguars - RB Jonathan Taylor (Wisconsin). The theme here is continuing to add weapons to this offense, and Taylor can be a big boost either in tangent with Fournette, or as a pass catcher out of the backfield. 2.11 Chicago Bears (via LVR) - G/C Tyler Biadasz (Wisconsin). Back to back Badgers, as the Bears add some much needed help on the OL in Biadasz, who can easily slide to guard alongside Daniels. 2.12 Indianapolis Colts - QB Jacob Eason (Washington). The Colts may have waited a bit, but they do add a QB with immense potential in the strong armed-Eason. A season behind Brissett could do him wonders. 2.13 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - OT Prince Tega Wanogho (Auburn). The Bucs find themselves a pass protector, and PTW may have the highest ceiling out of all these guys due to his immense athleticism. 2.14 Denver Broncos - OT Isaiah Wilson (Georgia). The Broncos too need to find some help at OT, and they get that with Wilson, another incredibly athletic SEC pass protector. 2.15 Atlanta Falcons - DT Neville Gallimore (Oklahoma). Didn't like a fit for any corners here, so the Falcons take Gallimore and provide a boost to their defensive line. 2.16 New York Jets - EDGE Terrell Lewis (Alabama). In need of pass rushers as well, the Jets take a chance on Lewis, who has immense potential, but has dealt with some injuries. 2.17 Pittsburgh Steelers - EDGE Julian Okwara (Notre Dame). The Steelers enter the draft, and they pick Notre Dame's top edge rusher, a crafty and surprisingly strong pass rusher. 2.18 Chicago Bears - TE Cole Kmet (Notre Dame). The first tight end off the board is Kmet, who will provide Trubisky another weapon in hopes that he can get things figured out. 2.19 Dallas Cowboys - DT Justin Madibuike (Texas A&M). The Cowboys first two picks gives them two impact defenders to help straighten out their defense. 2.20 Los Angeles Rams - OT Trey Adams (Washington). If the Rams want another run at the Super Bowl, heck, even the playoffs, they need to upgrade their OL, and they do that with the massive product out of Washington. 2.21 TRADE: Indianapolis Colts - TE Hunter Bryant (Washington) Picking this up from the Eagles, the Colts reunite Bryant and Eason, giving them a natural replacement for Ebron as a pass catching TE. 2.22 Buffalo Bills - EDGE Jabari Zuniga (Florida). The Bills add a pass rusher here, as Zuniga's excellent play earns him a spot in the second round. 2.23 Atlanta Falcons (via NE) - CB Jaylon Johnson (Utah) - The Falcons add a corner with the pick they received in the Sanu trade. Johnson was a major asset for the tough Utah defense. 2.24 Miami Dolphins (via NO) - EDGE Jonathan Greenard (Florida). Just two picks behind a fellow Gator's pass rusher, Greenard fits Flores scheme quite well, and provides some pass rush help. 2.25 Houston Texans - RB Cam Akers (Florida State). Akers may be the most underrated back in this draft, as he managed to put up excellent footage in Tallahassee, despite playing behind that garbage OL. 2.26 Minnesota Vikings - T/G Calvin Throckmorten (Oregon). The Vikings run came to end as the 49ers obliterated their OL. They address that with the RT out of Oregon. 2.27 Seattle Seahawks - EDGE Darrell Taylor (Tennessee). The Seahawks will likely re-sign Jadeveon Clowney as a powerful SDE, but adding an edge rusher who gets after the QB a bit more would be great. 2.28 Baltimore Ravens - ILB Troy Dye (Oregon). Filling the void left by C.J. Mosley, Dye steps into to a Ravens defense, and could be a bit component for them going forward. 2.29 Tennessee Titans - RB J.K. Dobbins (Ohio State). This would change if the Titans re-sign Derrick Henry, however, with a very good offensive line, the Titans could likely continue rushing success without Henry. 2.30 Green Bay Packers - DT Ross Blacklock (TCU). Perhaps one of my favorite "sleepers" of the draft, Blacklock has a fantastic blend of size and quickness to him. 2.31 Kansas City Chiefs - CB Cameron Dantzler (Mississippi St.). A big, physical corner, Dantzler should step in and contribute for the Chiefs fairly quickly, given their needs at corner. 2.32 Seattle Seahawks - WR Brandon Aiyuk (Arizona St.). A big play waiting to happen every time the ball heads his direction, Aiyuk would give Russell Wilson an electric weapon.
Third Round
3.1 Cincinnati Bengals - C Nick Harris (Washington) 3.2 Washington Redskins - WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (Michigan) 3.3 Detroit Lions - EDGE Bradlee Anae (Utah) 3.4 TRADE: Arizona Cardinals - G John Simpson (Clemson) - from trade w/ NYJ (via NYG). 3.5 Carolina Panthers - DT Rashard Lawrence (LSU) 3.6 Miami Dolphins - G Shane Lemiuex (Oregon) 3.7 TRADE: Detroit Lions - WR Michael Pittman Jr. (USC) - from trade w/ LAC. 3.8 Arizona Cardinals - OT Yasir Durant (Missouri) 3.9 Jacksonville Jaguars - S Ashtyn Davis (California) 3.10 Cleveland Browns - G Ben Bredeson (Michigan) 3.11 Indianapolis Colts - DL Marlon Davidson (Auburn) 3.12 Tampa Bay Bucs - CB Deommodore Lenoir (Oregon) 3.13 Denver Broncos - CB Lamar Jackson (Nebraska) 3.14 Atlanta Falcons - WR Bryan Edwards (South Carolina) 3.15 New York Jets - S Antoine Winfield Jr. (Minnesota) 3.16 Las Vegas Raiders - CB/S Shyheim Carter (Alabama) 3.17 Las Vegas Raiders - LB Jacob Phillips (LSU) 3.18 Dallas Cowboys - WR Tyler Johnson (Minnesota) 3.19 Denver Broncos (via PIT) - OT Robert Hunt (UL-Lafayette) 3.20 Los Angeles Rams - DT Leki Fotu (Utah) 3.21 Philadelphia Eagles - S Kyle Dugger (Lenoir-Rhyne) 3.22 Buffalo Bills - EDGE Anfernee Jennings (Alabama) 3.23 New England Patriots - QB Jake Fromm (Georgia) 3.24 New Orleans Saints - QB Jalen Hurts (Oklahoma) 3.25 Minnesota Vikings - DL Nick Coe (Auburn) 3.26 Cleveland Browns (via HOU) - LB Malik Harrison (Ohio State) 3.27 Las Vegas Raiders (via SEA) - WR Devin Duvernay (Texas) 3.28 Baltimore Ravens - EDGE Khalid Kareem (Notre Dame) 3.29 Tennessee Titans - DT Jordan Elliott (Missouri) 3.30 Green Bay Packers - LB Jordan Mack (Virginia) 3.31 Kansas City Chiefs - LB Jordyn Brooks (Texas Tech) 3.32 Denver Broncos (via SF) - OT Scott Franz (Kansas State) Compensatory Picks (as predicted by OverTheCap) 3.33 New England Patriots - OT Ezra Cleveland (Boise State) 3.34 New York Giants - WR Gabriel Davis (UCF) 3.35 New England Patriots - TE Adam Trautman (Dayton) 3.36 Seattle Seahawks - S Hamsah Nasirildeen (Florida State) 3.37 Houston Texans - EDGE Josh Uche (Michigan) 3.38 Pittsburgh Steelers - TE Colby Parkinson (Stanford) 3.39 Philadelphia Eagles - CB Thomas Graham (Oregon)
Fourth Round
4.1 Cincinnati Bengals - WR Antonio Gandy-Golden (Liberty) 4.2 Washington Redskins - CB Amik Robertson (Louisiana Tech) 4.3 Detroit Lions - RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (LSU) 4.4 New York Giants - CB Damon Arnette (Ohio State) 4.5 Houston Texans (via MIA) - C/G Netane Muti (Fresno State) 4.6 Los Angeles Chargers - C Matt Hennessy (Temple) 4.7 TRADE: San Francisco 49ers - C Jake Hanson (Oregon) 4.8 Arizona Cardinals - RB Chuba Hubbard (Oklahoma St.) 4.9 Cleveland Browns - OT Jack Driscoll (Auburn) 4.10 Jacksonville Jaguars - LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (Appalachian St.) 4.11 Tampa Bay Bucs - RB Eno Benjamin (Arizona St.) 4.12 Denver Broncos - DT Raequan Williams (Michigan St.) 4.13 Atlanta Falcons - CB Darnay Holmes (UCLA) 4.14 New York Jets - EDGE Kenny Willekes (Michigan St.) 4.15 Las Vegas Raiders - QB Anthony Gordon (Washington St.) 4.16 Indianapolis Colts - RB Kylin Hill (Mississippi St.) 4.17 Dallas Cowboys - WR Isaiah Hodgins (Oregon St.) 4.18 Pittsburgh Steelers - OT Ben Bartch (St. John's) 4.19 New England Patriots (via CHI) - LB Logan Wilson (Wyoming) 4.20 Los Angeles Rams - WR Chase Claypool (Notre Dame) 4.21 Philadelphia Eagles - WR Denzel Mims (Baylor) 4.22 Buffalo Bills - WR Jauan Jennings (Tennessee) 4.23 Baltimore Ravens - RB A.J. Dillon (Boston College 4.24 New Orleans Saints - CB Bryce Hall (Virginia) 4.25 Houston Texans - TE Brycen Hopkins (Purdue) 4.26 Minnesota Vikings - WR Lynn Bowden (Kentucky) 4.27 Seattle Seahawks - G Logan Stenberg (Kentucky) 4.28 Baltimore Ravens - Cesar Ruiz (Michigan) 4.29 Pittsburgh Steelers (via TEN) - OT Justin Herron (Wake Forrest) 4.30 Green Bay Packers - OT Matt Peart (UCONN) 4.31 Kansas City Chiefs - CB Kindle Vildor (Georgia Southern) 4.32 Denver Broncos (via SF) - LB Cameron Brown (Penn State) Anyways. That's my shot at one. Tell me why you hate it...
Welcome to the 2018 Best of /CFB Awards Show! While we've used a Reddit Live Thread the last few years, we've switched up the format a little bit. Instead of a live thread, the entire set of awards are in the body of this post, so that you can browse them at your leisure. We still have some fantastic videos announcing the Awards from guest presenters from around the College Football community, so be sure to check those out! These awards were nominated and voted on by the half million plus /CFB users. We have 3 types of awards we're presenting today:
While the awards used to line up with calendar years to be more in line with Reddit as a whole, after user feedback we're now lining them up with the college football season itself. All awards for the 2018-19 season both for /CFB itself and about College Football started the minute the first game kicked off and ended with the final play in the CFP Final.
Best of College Football, 2018-19 Season
Since we've moved from the calendar year to the season, the handful of games in January, 2018 were never eligible for consideration. We're giving a special commendation to the Georgia v.

After an amazing season, we're proud to present 8 awards to people, teams, and events around college football this season that shaped the year to the highest degree. We'll let the award presenters speak for themselves! Huge thanks to PromoPimp for video editing.
Presented by @adamamin These awards are for superlative performance on /CFB itself! All winners will receive Reddit Platinum, courtesy of Reddit, and all runners up mentioned below will receive Reddit Gold.

Welcome to the /politics polling megathread! As discussed in our metathread, we will be hosting a daily polling megathread to cover the latest released polls. As the election draws near, more and more polls will be released, and we will start to see many new polls on a daily basis. This thread is intended to aggregate these posts so users can discuss the latest polls. Like we stated in the metathread, posts analyzing poll results will still be permitted.
National Poll of Polls and Projections
Poll of Polls Poll of polls are averages of the latest national polls. Different sources differ in which polls they accept, and how long they keep them in their average, which accounts for the differences. They give a snapshot to what the polling aggregates say about the national race right now, to account for outliers or biases in individual polls. We have included both the 4 way race (4 way), and head to head aggregates (H2H), as they are presented this way in most polls.
Projections Projections are data-driven models that try to make a prediction of a candidate's prospects on election day. They will incorporate polling data to give an estimate on how that will affect a candidate's chance of winning. Note: The percentages given are not popular vote margins, but the probability that a given candidate will win the presidency on election night.
* Fivethirtyeight also includes Now Cast and a Polls-Only mode. These are available on the website but are not reproduced here. The Now Cast projects the election outcome if the election were held today, whereas Polls-Only projects the election on November 8th without factoring in historical data and other factors. ** Sam Wang's Princeton Election Consortium includes both a "random drift" and Bayesian projection. We have reproduced the "random drift" values in our table. The NYT Upshot page has also helpfully included links to other projection models, including "prediction" sites. Predictwise is a Vegas betting site and reflects what current odds are for a Trump or Clinton win. Charlie Cook, Stu Rothenburg, and Larry Sabato are veteran political scientists who have their own projections for the outcome of the election based on experience, and insider information from the campaigns themselves.
Daily Presidential Polls
Below, we have collected the latest national and state polls. The head to head (H2H) and 4 way surveys are both included. We include the likely voter (LVs) numbers, when possible, in this list, but users are welcome to read the polling reports themselves for the matchups among registered voters (RVs). National Polls
Jill Stein is not listed on the ballot in Nevada, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. She is not on the ballot, but eligible as a write-in candidate in Indiana and North Carolina. *In the Rasmussen poll, Evan McMullin polls third, receiving 21% of the vote. In the Monmouth poll, Evan McMullin polls third, receiving 24% of the vote. In the Emerson poll, Evan McMullin polls second, receiving 28% of the vote. Note that Emerson College only polls landlines. **Emerson College only polls landlines. Standard pollster practice is to include as much as a 45% cell phone supplement or internet panel to account for changes in the electorate. For more information on state polls, including trend lines for individual states, visit RCP and HuffPo/Pollster and click on states (note, for Pollster, you will have to search for the state in the search bar). Update Log/Comments:
Any poll denoted with (R) or (D) refers to a pollster that is an internal pollster traditionally polling for one party or another. That doesn't mean their polls are wrong, but they do have a potential bias.
The Times Picayune poll was released showing Clinton leading by 5 pts. A UPI/C Voter poll was released showing Clinton up 1. Both are internet non-probability sample polls.
PPP has teased that it may release internal polling on behalf of a client in New Hampshire later today, presumably showing Clinton ahead. UMass-Lowell are expected to release a poll at 10:15PM EDT of NH. SurveyMonkey released a poll of NH showing Clinton up 10. Standard caveat about non-probability sample polls applies.
UMass-Lowell has released its (presumably final) poll of New Hampshire, showing the race tied. Its previous poll in early October showed Clinton up 6 pts.
RABA Research has released a poll of Iowa, showing Trump up 3 pts. In its previous poll in early September, Trump led by 1 pt.
Welcome to the /politics polling megathread! As discussed in our metathread, we will be hosting a daily polling megathread to cover the latest released polls. As the election draws near, more and more polls will be released, and we will start to see many new polls on a daily basis. This thread is intended to aggregate these posts so users can discuss the latest polls. Like we stated in the metathread, posts analyzing poll results will still be permitted.
National Poll of Polls and Projections
Poll of Polls Poll of polls are averages of the latest national polls. Different sources differ in which polls they accept, and how long they keep them in their average, which accounts for the differences. They give a snapshot to what the polling aggregates say about the national race right now, to account for outliers or biases in individual polls. We have included both the 4 way race (4 way), and head to head aggregates (H2H), as they are presented this way in most polls.
Projections Projections are data-driven models that try to make a prediction of a candidate's prospects on election day. They will incorporate polling data to give an estimate on how that will affect a candidate's chance of winning. Note: The percentages given are not popular vote margins, but the probability that a given candidate will win the presidency on election night.
* Fivethirtyeight also includes Now Cast and a Polls-Only mode. These are available on the website but are not reproduced here. The Now Cast projects the election outcome if the election were held today, whereas Polls-Only projects the election on November 8th without factoring in historical data and other factors. ** Sam Wang's Princeton Election Consortium includes both a "random drift" and Bayesian projection. We have reproduced the "random drift" values in our table. The NYT Upshot page has also helpfully included links to other projection models, including "prediction" sites. Predictwise is a Vegas betting site and reflects what current odds are for a Trump or Clinton win. Charlie Cook, Stu Rothenburg, and Larry Sabato are veteran political scientists who have their own projections for the outcome of the election based on experience, and insider information from the campaigns themselves.
Daily Presidential Polls
Below, we have collected the latest national and state polls. The head to head (H2H) and 4 way surveys are both included. We include the likely voter (LVs) numbers, when possible, in this list, but users are welcome to read the polling reports themselves for the matchups among registered voters (RVs). National Polls
Jill Stein is not listed on the ballot in Nevada, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. She is not on the ballot, but eligible as a write-in candidate in Indiana and North Carolina. *Emerson Does not poll cell phones or include an internet supplement. Landline only polls are no longer the industry standard in polling, and may lead to erroneous results. **Michigan State University's poll was in the field for 2 months. This is much much longer than the ideal polling period of 3-5 days. For more information on state polls, including trend lines for individual states, visit RCP and HuffPo/Pollster and click on states (note, for Pollster, you will have to search for the state in the search bar). Update Log/Comments:
Rasmussen's Pulse Opinion Research also released polling of NC, PA, FL and OH, on behalf of Alliance-ESA last updated 11/01. It's not clear what the numbers they intend to report, though, as they model the electorate in several different ways. Using the 3 day sample, Clinton leads by 1 pt in FL, 4 pts in NH, 4 pts in NV, and 6 pts in OH. Trump leads PA by 1 pt. The two candidates are tied in NC.
SurveyMonkey also released some new state polls.
Any poll denoted with (R) or (D) refers to a pollster that is an internal pollster traditionally polling for one party or another. That doesn't mean their polls are wrong, but they do have a potential bias.
We are expecting a Marquette Law School poll for Wisconsin later today. Monmouth U. will also be releasing a Pennsylvania poll (likely at 1PM EDT). Quinnipiac U. is expected to release polls for FL, OH, NC and PA at 3PM EDT.
Susquehanna College released its final survey for Pennsylvania, taken 10/31 to 11/01 and showing Clinton up 2 pts. Its previous poll had Clinton up 5 pts.
Monmouth University has released its final poll for Pennsylvania, showing Clinton up 4 pts. The previous poll had Clinton up 10.
Marquette University Law has released its final poll for Wisconsin this cycle, showing Clinton up 6 pts. Its previous poll had Clinton up 7 pts in early October.
Quinnipiac University has released (presumably) its final polls for Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. They show Clinton up 1 pt in FL, 3 pts in NC, and 5 pts in PA. Trump leads OH by 5 pts. In their previous polls, Clinton was up 4 in FL, 4 in NC, and 6 in PA. The two candidates were tied in OH.
Hampton University has released a poll (presumably its final poll) for Virginia, showing Trump up 3 pts. Its previous poll had Clinton up 12 pts.
JMC Analytics has released a poll for Nevada, showing the race tied. Its previous poll had Clinton up 2 pts.
The Times/Picayune has released polls for Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico. Trump leads AZ by 1 pt, Clinton leads CO by 7 pts, NV by 7 pts, and NM by 8 pts. This is a non-probability sample poll, much like the SurveyMonkey state polls.
Rasmussen's Pulse Opinion Research also released polling of NC, PA, FL and OH, on behalf of Alliance-ESA last updated 11/02. It's not clear what the numbers they intend to report, though, as they model the electorate in several different ways. Using the 3 day sample, Clinton leads by 3 pts in NC, 4 pts in NH, 1 pt in PA and 3 pts in OH. The two candidates are tied in FL and NV.
Fox 2/Mitchell has updated its Michigan tracking poll, showing Clinton up 3 pts. Its previous poll had Clinton up 6 pts. Note that Mitchell is a robocaller that only polls landlines and does not call cell phones or have an internet panel supplement.
The Missouri Times/Remington Research weekly poll of Missouri has been released, showing Trump up 12 pts. Remington is a Republican internal pollster. On the downballot, they are seeing Republican Eric Greitens leading Democrat Chris Koster for the first time in the gubernatorial race. Their first sample of the MO Senate race has Sen. Roy Blunt up 4 pts over MO SoS Jason Kander.
The University of Arkansas has released a poll for Arkansas, showing Trump up 33 pts.
University of Colorado Boulder has released a non-random internet poll of Colorado, showing Clinton up 10 pts (44-34). It was conducted between Oct. 17th and Oct. 24th.

Concept (Please Read): Each week, all FBS teams will gamble 50% of their remaining endowment against the money line odds. Teams do not bet against each other, but rather the /CFB Sports Book
Heavy favorites will be mildly rewarded for their wins, but upsets will propel universities up the rankings, bringing economic prosperity and opportunities to their students - that is until they lose the following week and wipe out half of their remaining endowment. How money line betting works: If a team has negative odds, they are the favorite - Ex: Utah -220, must wager $220 to profit $100 If a team has positive odds, they are the underdog - Ex: LSU +350, must wager $100 to profit $350

Another very modest week, a small $2B profit for Las Vegas, just enough to offset last week
Week 13 Results
Apple Cup - Washington State #11 Washington State fell at the hands of rival Washington Washington in the snow on Friday at the Apple Cup, but the Cougars remain in the top 15 despite a $1.88B loss. The Huskies enter the top 25 again with a $420M win Paul Bunyan's Axe - Minnesota Minnesota had the biggest climb this week, jumping 17 spots to #22 defeating Wisconsin Wisconsin. The Golden Gophers end their 14-year losing streak and take home $640M, to round their endowment to an even billion. The Game - The Game was a little one-sided this year, with Ohio State Ohio State routing rival Michigan Michigan to take home $3.85B and enter the top 5 for the first time. Michigan drops out of the top 5, losing nearly $5B. Texas A&M Texas A&M took 7 overtimes, but defeated rival LSU #12 LSU for the first time since 1995 to win $186M, while the Tigers slipped 2 spots but remain in the top 15. Oklahoma #18 Oklahoma handles West Virginia West Virginia in a classic Big 12 affair to win $410M before their rematch with Texas. Notre Dame #1 Notre Dame ended their regular season with a perfect record with a defeat of USC USC. Almost certainly playoff bound, the Fighting Irish are going to have to wait over a month for their next action
The Bull's season is impressive, more than doubling their starting endowment in key upsets to earn more than $674M before clinching a spot in the MAC Championship Game. Their opponent: Northern Illinois a team that has lost 67% of their endowment but have everything to play for this Friday with a chance to wipe out their losses in an upset. Current Line: Buffalo -175 With a Win: Buffalo: $1.33B Northern Illinois: $24.62M
Utah #29 Utah Utes vs. Washington #19 Washington Huskies
The Utes had a slow start to the season, dropping two of their first four including a loss to Washington, but Utah has been red hot since then, winning seven of their last eight. Utah's early season losses made it difficult to have positive cash flow, but they are down just 41% with a chance to enter the black this week. Similarly, the Washington Huskies season started off with a dud against Auburn in Atlanta. Since then, the Huskies have ebbed and flowed their way to a Pac-12 Championship and despite losing over 66% of their endowment, have a chance to win some big cash in the Championship and a bowl game. Current Line: Washington -200 With a Win: Utah: $540M Washington: $282M
Despite Pitt being ranked higher in our simulation, these two teams have had opposite seasons. Clemson has calmly worked their way through their schedule to enter Championship week at 12-0, while Pittsburgh has been predictably unpredictable including dropping their season finale. However, things have happened before when unranked Pitt takes on #2 Clemson, so don't count chaos out just yet. Current Line: Clemson -4625 With a Win: Clemson: $9.95M Pittsburgh: $32.05B
Texas #3 Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma #15 Oklahoma Sooners
Are they back? We will have to see! In a rematch of the Red River Showdown, a thrilling affair where the Longhorns won 48-45, Oklahoma seeks revenge and a possible date with the playoffs. After another early season disappointment against Maryland, Texas has been strong, taking home over $5.5B to grow their endowment 50%. The Sooners' only loss wiped out their earnings for the season, but they will enter the black once again if they can defeat their rival. Current Line: Oklahoma -300 With a Win: Texas: $20.03B Oklahoma: $271.13M
Speaking of roller coasters, have you heard of the Wildcats? Despite early season losses, Northwestern has been one of the overall best investments this season, taking home over $15B of profit, more than doubling their original endowment. And then we have the Buckeyes, who except for some pesky Boilermakers and scary Terrapins have had a perfect season and have nearly doubled their endowment capping the regular season off with a $3.85B win over rival Michigan. They may have a CFP spot on the line as well, should they defeat Northwestern. Current Line: Ohio State -555 With a Win: Northwestern: $56.14B Ohio State: $742.72M
Georgia #20 Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama #25 Alabama Crimson Tide
This game was set up to be as fair as possible, but the journey to the top would be most difficult to schools like these. Both Georgia and Alabama started the season with smaller endowments and were heavily favored in almost every game, meaning that a 12-0 Alabama has only grown their endowment by 20.86%. As far as investments go, a 20% return in a little over three months is nothing to scoff at. Maybe some ETF's in the future will feature the Crimson Tide. Georgia would love to play upset and secure a spot in the CFP. Current Line: Alabama -485 With a Win: Georgia: $2.31B Alabama: $85.10M
Memphis #102 Memphis Tigers vs. UCF #38 UCF Knights
Central Florida had many of the same issues as the Alabama's and Clemson's of the world, heavily favored in all games. However, the Knights also started out with a small endowment of just $156M. Another undefeated thus far has more than doubled their endowment, bringing the total to $359M. A win here and a trip to an NY6 may be enough for the Knights to crack the top 25, perhaps they even sacrificed their prize QB to make the odds even more favorable for growth. And then we have Memphis, the lowest ranked team to make a championship game. Memphis has shed 95% of their endowment, and hope to do some repair work in the championship game. Current Line: UCF -215 With a Win: Memphis: $8.22M UCF: $83.39M
Now we head west for a battle of 10-2 teams. Boise State's season has been pretty much a wash, despite winning 10 games. The Broncos are down 9% on the season but with two games left, they have a chance to be in the black. The Bulldogs have fared a little worse, down 42% on the season. As underdogs for the Championship, they may be on their way to repairing previous damage. Current Line: Boise State -140 With a Win: Fresno State: $51.17M Boise State: $32.16M
In a year of multiple Bulldogs, Tigers, and Huskies in the championship games, the Sun Belt's inaugural championship game will be played between two of the more unique names in college football. After nearly knocking off Penn State to start the season, the Mountaineers host this game as favorites, hoping to wipe out some of the 60% of damage to their original $95M endowment. The Ragin' Cajuns have more to gain - they can earn back much of their 85% decrease in endowment this season. Current Line: Appalachian State -905 With a Win: Louisiana: $86.62M Appalachian State: $2.09M
In a rematch of a game that took place just a few days ago, UAB will seek revenge against the Blue Raiders. UAB has been one of the better performing G5 teams throughout the season. Despite losing last week, they are one of the few teams that have still made a profit on the season. Should they exact revenge, they'll take some more profit with them. MTSU is just one loss away from breaking even on the season. If they want to recoup their losses, a win will be necessary on Saturday. Current Line: Middle Tennessee -140 With a Win: UAB: $262.77M MTSU: $10.51M
Additionally, the following teams are playing in makeup games:
I will be posting these storylines and information weekly at approximately 10 am on Tuesdays. If you have any suggestions or if I made any mistakes, please let me know! Once again, I have all 130 FBS teams with every single game throughout the season on a Google Sheet. Best of luck to whoever you are rooting for, I hope your donors came prepared to put their money where their mouths are!

[Game Preview] Philadelphia Eagles (9-3) vs Seattle Seahawks (8-4)
Philadelphia Eagles (9-3) vs Seattle Seahawks (8-4)
Coming off of a 33-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, the Eagles return home as they welcome the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks to Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday Afternoon. Winners of four of their last five contests, Philadelphia and their fourth-ranked offense will face a tough test in Seattle's top-ranked defensive unit. Since the start of the 2013 season, Seattle (21) and Philadelphia (19) rank first and tied for 2nd in the NFC, respectively, in wins over that span with San Francisco and Arizona also having notched 19 wins.
Eagles S Chris Maragos spent three seasons with the Seahawks from 2011-13, playing in 43 games and notching 29 special teams tackles while helping Seattle win Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013
Eagles P Donnie Jones was originally a seventh round draft choice of the Seahawks in 2004 and split his rookie season between the Seattle active roster and practice squad
Eagles Pro scout Louis Clark was a 10th round pick of the Seahawks in 1987. He spent six seasons wit Seattle during his pro career
Seahawks DB and University of Delaware product Marcus Burley spent a month on the Eagles practice squad in 2013
Seahawks (PS) FB Stanley Havili spent two seasons (2011-12) with the Eagles, appearing in 15 games for Philadelphia in 2012. Havili was also a college roommate of Eagles QB Mark Sanchez. It's not Tebow/Cooper but still fun!
Seahawks Area Scout (NE) Todd Brunner spent six seasons (1992-97) with the Eagles in a scouting capacity
Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll was the College Head Coach (USC) for both Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley.
Seahawks C Max Unger and FB Will Tukuafu played under Chip Kelly at Oregon.
The father of Seahawks WR Paul Richardson, Paul Sr., appeared in one game for the Eagles in 1993
Eagles tight ends coach Ted Williams spent three seasons (1991-93) as the offensive coordinatoRBs coach at Washington State
Eagles RB Chris Polk finished his collegiate career as the second-leading rusher in University of Washington history, having rushed for 4,049 yards and 26 TDs in his three years in school
Eagles LB Travis Long attended Washington State and hails from Spokane, WA. LB Bryan Braman is also a native of Spokane, WA
Talking Points
The series between the two teams began in 1976 with a 27-10 Eagles victory at Veterans Stadium
Seattle has played only three games in Philadelphia over the past 25 years and won them all.
Seven of the last ten contests between the two teams have been decided by at least two scores
The Seahawks have held four of their past five opponents under 65 yards rushing, and they've forced 11 turnovers in the past six. They're 5-1 in that span while limiting opposing quarterbacks to a 65.0 rating, with only Eli Manning throwing for more than 200 yards.
There really is no such thing as a Seahawk. The mascot used by Seattle is actually an osprey (augur buzzard) which originally hails from Africa. 99% of it's diet consists of fish and the other 1% is likely the 49ers. While the osprey is one of only two birds (owls) that have a reversible toe, it's talons are much smaller than that of an American Bald Eagle. We all can agree that size matters.
Eagles should have their hands full with Seattle's top-ranked rushing offense (168.6 ypg). While Russell Wilson has run for nearly twice as many yards (679) as any other quarterback, Marshawn Lynch is fifth in the league with 956 and leads with nine touchdown runs.
Chip Kelly handed Pete Carroll one of his worst losses at Southern California in their only collegiate matchup in 2009. Oregon won 47-20 against a fourth-ranked Trojans team and totaled 613 yards the most ever gained on one of Carroll's USC defenses.
Dan Marino and Matt Ryan had 33 wins over their first three seasons - which is the most by any NFL Quarterback. Russell Wilson currently has 32 wins with 4 regular season games left to play.
Eagles
The Eagles have won 10-consecutive games at home, which is the third longest home winning streak in team history. They can tie for second place with a win on Sunday, matching the 11-game mark set by the 1991-93 Eagles
Led by Connor Barwin and his 12.5 sacks, the Eagles defense has seen seven different players set or tie career highs in sacks this season
Since Week 6, LeSean McCoy has tallied 745 rushing yards in seven games, the second-highest total in the NFL over that span behind only Dallas RB DeMarco Murray (757)
Eagles rookie K Cody Parkey has hit 27 field goals in his first year in the league, which leaves him six away from the team’s single-season record of 33 set by David Akers in 2008
RB LeSean McCoy (6,491) needs 48 rushing yards to break Wilbert Montgomery’s team record of 6,538 yards, which he has held since 1984. With 43 career rushing touchdowns, McCoy needs two more to tie Montgomery (45) for second place on the team’s all-time list. If McCoy reaches 100 rushing yards against Seattle, it would mark the first time in his career that he has surpassed 100 yards in three-consecutive games and would tie for the second-longest streak in team history, behind Steve Van Buren’s four-game streak in 1948
WR Jeremy Maclin needs 1 receiving touchdown to tie his career high of 10 scores, set in 2010. Maclin (4,541) needs 94 receiving yards to pass Fred Barnett for ninth place on the team’s all-time receiving yardage leaderboard. After surpassing 1,000 yards for the first time in his career, Maclin (1,088) can climb into the top 10 in single-season receiving yards with 59 yards and can move into the top five with 160 yards receiving. With 71 receptions, Maclin needs six catches to tie for the ninth most in a single season in Eagles history, seven to tie for seventh and 10 to tie for fifth place. Maclin (9) needs two receiving touchdowns to tie for the fifth-highest single-season total in team history and mark the most since Terrell Owens (14) in 2004.
RB/PR Darren Sproles (480) needs 10 yards to pass Larry Marshall (489 in 1977) for third place in Eagles single-season history, 24 to pass Vai Sikahema (503 in 1992) and 88 to set the team record currently held by Brian Mitchell (567 in 2002). Sproles (2) can become the Eagles franchise leader in punt return touchdowns in a single season with his next return for a score
QB Mark Sanchez needs another 300+ yard output, Sanchez (3) can set a career high and tie for the third-most ever by an Eagle in a single season.
WR Jordan Matthews is third among rookies with seven TD catches, including five in past five games.
LB Connor Barwin has 24 tackles + 6.5 sacks + 1 forced fumble = NFC Defensive Player of the Month.
Seahawks
QB Russell Wilson has a 110.9 rating (4 TDs, 0 INTs) in past 3 games. With 1 more rushing touchdown Wilson (9) can tie Lamar Smith and Dave Krieg for 10th on the Seahawks all-time rushing touchdown list.
RB Marshawn Lynch rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns when the Eagles and Seahawks last met in 2011. Lynch needs 44 yards & 1 TD to rush for 1,000 yards & 10 TDs for 4th consecutive season.
CB Richard Sherman had 2 interceptions last week. Since entering league in 2011, Sherman leads NFL with 23 interceptions. His 23 interceptions are the most in the first 4 seasons by active player.
WR Doug Baldwin (14) needs 1 more relieving touchdown to move into a 5 way tie (Golden Tate, Deion Branch, Nate Burleson, and Jerramy Stevens) for 9th place on the Seahawks all-time receiving touchdown list. With 12 receptions he can move into 15th place (shared with Deion Branch) on the all-time reception list
