SEC Turmoil Dominates College Football Week 13 Rankings

Several SEC teams, including Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M, suffered losses to unranked opponents, yet media projections, such as those by ESPN's Heather Dinich, still rank them highly in the College Football Playoff standings. This has sparked criticism of bias towards the SEC, as other two-loss teams like Clemson, Arizona State, and BYU are ranked lower. The situation raises concerns about the fairness of the expanded 12-team playoff system, which seems to favor SEC and Big 10 teams despite their records.

Study Reveals X's Algorithm Favors Republicans and Elon Musk

A study by Queensland University of Technology suggests that Elon Musk's social media platform, X, may have altered its algorithm to favor Musk's account and other conservative-leaning users, coinciding with Musk's endorsement of Donald Trump. The research found a significant increase in engagement with Musk's posts starting mid-July, with similar, albeit smaller, boosts for other Republican accounts. The study aligns with other reports of potential right-wing bias in X's algorithms, though data limitations were noted due to restricted access to the platform's Academic API.
