Confirmation bias is defined as the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one’s existing beliefs or theories. This becomes apparent when Team A—let’s call them them the Normans because that’s a funny name—gives up 40 points to a team that has won six games in the last four years, and only has one win over a ranked team on the entire season. Meanwhile Team B—let’s call this team the Bayous because that’s also funny—has one really good win, but also two losses and a win over a side dish. But both of those are ahead of Team C—let’s call them the #6 team in the country because that’s where they should be ranked if the College Football Playoff committee actually followed the tenets it purported to I’M NOT BITTER YOU’RE BITTER NO YOU’RE YELLING—who played an actual college football team and thoroughly dismantled them.
