Welcome to the bcftoys whiteboard, something new here at the site. Aside from social media interactions, I haven’t otherwise had a feedback loop for folks that want to engage with FEI ratings, data visualizations, and more stuff that I produce. The whiteboard isn’t a fully developed idea yet, but perhaps it might be a place where a college football data community can form.
I won’t promise a specific posting frequency from the jump, nor can I predict how this space might evolve, but I think it will initially include stuff like this:
A place to post my data visualizations, hopefully peppered with some additional notes and context for folks that want to dig deeper on the data and design choices that were made.
A place to kick around ideas of data projects to tackle, questions that might be able to asked and answered in new and different ways, chart drafts to work through, and college football data minutiae to inspect and pick at.
Possible musings/rants/takes? I’ll resist spending too much energy or time on the college football discourse du jour, but I know I sometimes want to flesh out, organize, refine, or even debate my perspective on data-relevant stuff.
If you want or need to know something more about the data on this site, let me know! If you can’t figure out what a chart is trying to communicate because it’s too wonky or unclear, speak up! If we find ourselves here one day in a comment section echo chamber of a whiteboard post complaining about how there should be smarter data-driven decision making among the power players of our favorite sport, okay, let’s hash that out together.
Drop a comment here or on any other post, reach out via email at bcfremeau@gmail.com, and/or ping me on Bluesky or X/Twitter, I’d love to hear from you.
