A typical post picks up 344 interactions against 57K followers, an engagement rate of 0.609%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 77% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 29K times each, and 1.20% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 50.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 77% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 48% carry an image or video, 24% are part of a thread and 7% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.5K interactions, about 7.4x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

College Football Nerds's engagement rate beats 77% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 41% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.609%, College Football Nerds sits above the 50th percentile of the 213,472 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.147% to 0.699%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 213,472 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,408 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 48% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 7% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 294 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    We do it each week, MY Sunday SEC takeaways... ALABAMA: Handled their business. Set tone early on ground with run game & TE involvement. 40, 88 & 9 great again. OL strained in run game. Had some let downs in pass pro. 4 good in pass pro. Quick game early helped set things up down the field. They won the LOS. 13 personal package was nice. 17 & 13 ran well, good feel. QB just seems to be getting more & more comfy. Good leaving pocket. OL struggled with some hat placement in run game. All around effort was good there. TEs add a ton. 87 was good. 9 helped in pass game. 4 good in protection. Big game for 7 at WR. Worked seam well. Ball security an issue early. Def showed up. Kept numbers out side & back. Didn't have to overcommit yo the box. 1 good up front, had pas rush wins. Took ball away, scored. 5 big pick 6 early. Coverage solid most of the day. 11 good as spy/delayed blitzer. Showed speed. 9 TFLs vs that group is strong. Did not let tempo dictate things. 90 good on interior. 14 made things happen up front. Took momentum early & did not look back.

    Jireh Edwards was crazy active in his debut. Kane Wommack on Edwards back in August: “His blitz IQ and awareness is really high.” … yeah, I’d say that’s accurate. https://t.co/vqzV9FwIJN

    The CFB Nerds model is back for 2026 (even if we're doing fewer shows). Top 25 below. A few things that stand out: - Alabama and Mississippi State are both top 5 - The model isn't buying Ole Miss (#41) - Texas Tech (#17) and Indiana (#19) are top 20, but not elite teams https://t.co/mtUC4Vvu03

    Trinidad Chambliss looked like a future FIRST OVERALL PICK against LSU. One NFL scout reportedly believes Chambliss is “so good” that he could be the first QB off the board, despite his age. The Rebels QB might be Ole Miss’ best QB prospect since Eli Manning 😳🔥 https://t.co/3KTyckDve2

    CFB Nerds top-25 rating update: Highlights: - Miami, Alabama, and Georgia are your Tier-1. There seem to be 6-7 clear national title contenders, all big brands, in more a return to historical norms. - Penn State (#18) has the #1 pass defense in the country and the #97 run defense. The model has them usually losing to NW but favors them vs USC. - Missouri (#10) has the same kind of split: #4 run defense, #85 pass defense. - Ole Miss is #9 in the AP and #38 here. There isn't a single stat where they jump off the page. - LSU (#8) has the #1 run defense and a top-10 pass defense, but the offense is mediocre. - Last week we said UMass at #11 would only change if they started struggling. They're #61 now. That's a no-priors model working the way it's supposed to. This is a power rating calculated without priors (only on-field 2026 data), not a resume ranking or poll.

    Keelon Russell looks great, but his WRs are very very unjustifiably open. I honestly don’t know how much is Kamario Taylor and Russell being good and how much is South Carolina being bad. Cause they’re shockingly bad on the backend.

    I believe that Alabama is the first team to score 45+ in their first 5 games since 2019 Oklahoma did it with Jalen Hurts. Alabama scored 45+ in their first 6 FBS games in 2018.

    My current Top-10: 1) Georgia 2) Texas 3) Ohio State 4) Indiana 5) Notre Dame 6) Miami 7) LSU 8) Alabama 9) Texas A&M 10) Ole Miss I feel like we know a lot less than we think we do. I suspect 2-4 teams on this list will turn out to be imposters. Alabama may be a top-4 team imo

    Mike Norvell today on Ashton Daniels' first pick against Alabama: "It was gonna be a touchdown. The nickel, the guy who picked the ball, busted the coverage... Ashton read it so good. It’s what we thought might happen, but crap happens sometimes." https://t.co/bRjfCanedT
